It was a short week of my version of "Flushing". I reduce the nutrients so the plant is really hungry so if there were any toxicities they would be used up by now.
Buds look really nice and are full of crystal. Took a small bud for sampling that I will dry quickly to test how potent she is.
Grow Summary
------------------------------
She was a pleasure to grow with 56 days of vegetation. I believe I should of went to 60 days to allow her to recover from the drought she had on day 49, but still happy with the turnout.
Lollipop her pre-flower and switched the light when I flipped her to 12/12. She was around 12” at the start of flower. Buds started showing around 15 days after the switch and she stretched until day 28. I stopped tucking into the net 7 days after I flipped, and she stretched a total of 24”.
The stretch was a lot more than I expected. I had to raise the carbon filter and fan so they were on an angle so I could raise the light up higher. There was absolutely zero room for growing any higher.
Flowering was nice and easy. She was not very demanding with food and didn’t require any defoliation. Buds were smaller but nice and frosty.
Harvest
------------------------
Went well, Took off all the fan leaves and hung the branches inside a cardboard box in the tent. Then I cleaned up the sugar leaves and hung for another day. Lastly jarred for curing.
Constructive Criticism - What suggestions do you have?
This grow was a 2 plant scrog in a 3x3.
One major mistake was I should of either flipped sooner or grow one plant( ran out of height )
If this was my grow I would have liked/tried to use more LST/HST with some super cropping when it hit the SCROG net.
Maybe also buckets that where more wide then tall to help take up less height in the tent.
