Started 2 seeds..both jumped open. One looked a little deformed and after about 7 days I realized it isn't going to grow. It's not dead..but isn't changing. It's sister is off to the races and I will give it every chance to grow...but it won't make it in this run.

Fixed the cooler temps and she appreciates it. Coming along nicely. Light was minimal and have got some more on them. Growth should improve.

Topped her this week so she's just now getting going again. Growth should pick back up in the coming days. Seems a picky variety and doesn't like to be messed with.

Whatever issues this girl had in the beginning seems to be over. She is growing strong and has a nice structure going. I made a mistake starting her so soon after getting the seeds. Going to be another 8 weeks until I can get her into flower as I've already filled the flower tent for another cycle. She will be a large plant by then. Will be lowering the light intensity soon to slow her down a little. Will be a chore to manage by then but won't complain about more cookies at harvest!

This plant is gorgeous! A nice structure and super healthy. Now that it's got going..it just stays happy! Going to try to figure out a solution for flowering her sooner rather than later. Most likely take clones from it next week.

She's getting a little old and wants to flower..took 4 clones off the bottom of the plant. Usually clean that out anyway. If it's something I possibly will keep I will take cuts. Going to get her flowering in about 2 weeks once plans are confirmed and see the clones have rooted. Super thick stalks and can see the bubba in her. Which is what I believe Cali connection used to create these seeds.

The smell coming from this girl is starting to get stronger! If I touch her or mover her a burst of skunky goodness fills the air. Transplant to a 5 gallon container is coming soon and finally getting her into flower. Have had the light intensity lowered to keep growth at a minimum for the past couple of weeks.

She is going to have to stay in veg for a few more weeks. Doesn't seem to mind staying in the 1 gallon container. Probably transplant her in the coming days. Don't want her to get that root bound. Top dressed with all purpose and earthworm castings 3 days ago to keep her as happy as possible. Lots of side branching and most likely will be a good yield from her. Just over 3 more weeks till I can get into flower!

The lowered light strength has slowed her down. Transplanted once more to a 1.5 gallon container so she will stay happy for the next 2 and half weeks until I get her into flower. Flower space opening up then and her and several more will be sharing the space. All 4 clones I took from her never even wilted and are already in 1 gallons growing. So seems to take to clone fairly easy and quick.

This week and 1 more and she will finally see flower. She is wanting it..throwing white hairs at almost every upper node. Some light defoliatian of the lower areas and some of the larger fan leaves. Going to be a bountiful harvest once we get there.

Last week of veg finally! Will top this girl one more time and transplant to a 5 gallon container for flower. Her and all the girls for flower will receive a preventive spray of lost coast before flower. Looking forward to seeing the final outcome after such a long veg time. Yield should be great.

My neglect over the holidays has shown. Got her transplanted into a 7 gallon fabric pot and under the net. Flower has begun however and can't wait to see how she develops. She really hasn't minded my problems and continues to remain fairly happy. Didn't mind the training and looks like she will be a good yield of flowers. The 7 gallons of organic soil should be what she needs for flower growth. My only concern with all the different varieties sharing the same space is finish time on them. Which I'm not that particular about..as long as they are all closet finishing in the end. I will take one early or late if need be.

Have been slowly picking larger leaves and opening up the canopy. They have started the stretch and drinking water like crazy. Picked up a SF-2000 to go into flower tent so its all spider farmer now and moved the maxisun to join the other in veg tent to be able to better handle auto's. Most likely will have to install a second layer of trellis net. I'm drooling to see the flowers develop as I've never ran any of the genetics before. This one has sharp skunky smell going already. Have had to take measures to combat the brutal cold we have had the past couple of weeks in my area. Forecast says -4 coming in the few day's. That's Fahrenheit by the way.

Have continued to slowly remove larger leaves and her health has improved greatly. Once a week all plants get a shot of cal-mag, big bloom and molasses. Probably has the strongest smell out of all of the new varieties. Hasn't minded the defoilation or the cooler temps as much as the others. Drinking heavy..seems I've gotten lucky so far with the stretch on all of them. Already raised the lights to the very top of the tent..can't go any higher. So hopefully it doesn't get any worse.

Continue to remove leaves and top dressed this week. Removed lots of lower growth that didn't reach up to the light. Very nice skunky smell and showing resin. Keeping an eye out for herms. She is probably going to yield well for a cookies variety. Overall an easy to grow girl.

Flowers are stacking up nicely on this gal. Great smell of skunk! Probably the most yield of any of the varieties in the tent. Great plant so far!

Had to tie up some of the flowers that were already flopping over from weight. Really nice node spacing and stacking flowers. Resin is in overdrive along with the smell.

Had to tie up more limbs this week. Packing on the weight! A very strong and lovely smell of sweet cakey goodness with a hint of skunk. As the hairs have died back and changed color..it's done it from the bottom up. Just something odd I've noticed.

She's not much in the looks department..but smells great and has stacked up nicely. Plenty of tops have fell over and others are leaning.

Buds are flopping all over the place and she continues to put on weight. Smells so strong of skunky cookie dough. The tent has some amazing smells coming from it when I open it. Going to try and tie up some tops but can't get in there to work on her without man handling her. Another trellis net would have been the thing to do. Lessons learned.

This one could probably use a few more days but is coming down. Really just yellowed off and no color to speak of. Not a great "looker" but smells great! The tops are the only thing usable for smoke...as anything lower than about 10 inches from the top is sorta fluff. Possibly a light hungry plant? They were pretty close to the leds so I not sure about that. Could just need more time. The tops are heavy as hell so yields will still be great. Some amber showing so she's ripe enough that it doesn't upset me too much.

Really yielded well. Strong smell and flavor..pretty strong stuff. Definitely a night time strain. Have a nice mom and may keep around for a couple more runs in the future.
