ZaMango (Night Owl)

⏳ Day 1 (3/2): Emerged from the soil with two sets of cotyledons growing! (I did see two taproots emerge during germination.) I chopped the smaller seedling on 3/4 (still had the seed casing partially on); the secondary (?) seedling responded well. ⏳ Day 7 (3/8): Rotated and watered for the first time with Voodoo Juice and a top-dressing of Great White. Everything is steady, so the twin seedling operation was a success! Second biggest in the tent. . . . Next watering: around Day 10 (3/11) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.25 ml/l). Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

⏳ Day 11 (3/12): Rotated and watered with nutrients for the first time. Responding well and all is good. Needed a pipe-cleaner support today and will be monitoring. Next watering: around Day 14 (3/15) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l) and Voodoo Juice. Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 24. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

There was strong development during Week 2, and Week 3 has started with strong growth as well. Great structure. ⏳ Day 17 (3/18): Rotated and watered with nutrients. Responding well and all is good. ⏳ Day 18 (3/19): First pre-flowers appeared. Next watering: around Day 20 (3/21) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l) and Voodoo Juice. Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 24. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

Week 3 is starting off with the stretch. The new growth is coming in healthy, but the tips are darker and exhibiting clawing (though there's little wind exposure); wondering when to consider this just the plant being from "In Testing" seeds or something else. I'm going to install the OG Spring on either Day 23 or 24. I'll gradually ramp up the light intensity over the next week or so. ⏳ Day 22 (3/23): Responding well to increased nutrients. Light schedule changed to 18/6 for rest of grow. Doing some leaf tucking. ⏳ Day 23 (3/24): Installed the OG Spring and did a minimal tie-down of the main cola at two separate points. ⏳ Day 24 (3/25): Watered with lower dose of nutrients (.6 ml/l) and a top-dress of Great White. ⏳ Day 27 (3/28): Watered and did some minor defoliation. Decided to back off the nutrient levels for the next watering or two (.5 ml/l)--a few light leaf tips. Stigma are coming in fast. Raised light intensity to one notch above 50%. Next watering: around Day 30 (3/31) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 31. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿

A few things changed over the past week: the feedings have gotten more frequent (every 2 days), the light intensity was bumped up to one notch above 50%, and the OG Spring was installed/maintained. No complaints so far from this one, and the canopy is getting close to even. ⏳ Day 29 (3/30): Watered, defoliated, and rotated. Brought the main cola to almost an even level with other colas. Seems like the stretch is still ongoing. The number of bud sites is increasing daily, it seems--about 13 right now; opening up the plant with the spring has definitely encouraged the smaller colas and bud sites to get things moving. ⏳ Day 32 (4/2): Watered and had the first large defoliation session, taking off about 10% of the lower canopy without strong light access. ⏳ Day 35 (4/5): Watered and did the second large defoliation session, and all is well. Adding Voodoo Juice for the next week. Next watering: around Day 38 (4/8) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l) and Voodoo Juice (.5 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 38.

During Week 5, the first trichomes appeared on the new fan leaf growth, and I pulled the main cola to just below the level of the other colas. Seems like the stretch is ending, and I've decided to start using Overdrive at a low dose (.5 ml/l) about 5 days earlier than normal, since my last grow suffered from low PK levels. I was out of town for a couple of days, and the fan leaves are slowly becoming light green--like the other Night Owl sativas I've grown. Interested to see if there's enough nitrogen in the Overdrive to help green things up a bit. . . . ⏳ Day 39 (4/9): Watered with the first dose of Overdrive (.5 ml/l) and Carboload (1 ml/l), as well as a top dress of Great White. ⏳ Day 42 (4/12): Noticed another plant in the tent with early calmag deficiency. Added .25 ml/l dose to normal watering. Everything is pretty steady; a bit sensitive to nutrients, but staying at same levels for the near future. Next watering: around Day 45 (4/15) with CalMag (.25 ml/l), Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Overdrive (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 44. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿 Next watering: around Day 41 (4/11) with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Overdrive (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 44.

Three of the plants in the tent starting stacking on the buds during Week 6, but this one's having a long transition to bud development. She'll definitely take her time, but this is a special plant. Overall, a solid week and looking forward to heavier bud growth. ⏳ Day 45 (4/15): Watered and defoliated a bit more. The light has been turned down to a hair above 50% due to a suffering tentmate, but I'll start ramping up the intensity in the coming days. All's good. ⏳ Day 48 (4/18): Watered with top-dress of Great White. Slow and steady bud development. Next watering: around Day 48 (4/18) with CalMag (.25 ml/l), Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Overdrive (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 48.

Week 7 was steady with a pickup in bud growth. The plant will probably take two more weeks than the others in the tent. ⏳ Day 51 (4/21): Watered with a lower dosage of Sensi Bloom A&B (.4 ml/l) and and bit more CalMag (.3 ml/l). Responding well to the change, with no leaf-tip discoloration on the new growth. ⏳ Day 54 (4/24): Watered and removed 50/50 leaves. Next watering: around Day 57 (4/27) with CalMag (.3 ml/l), Sensi Bloom A&B (.4 ml/l), Overdrive (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 61.

Week 7 showed a greening up of the plant, probably due to the two minor adjustments that happened this week, which lead to an uptick in health: raising the lights to 18" above the canopy (to slow/prevent new stigma growth) and lowering the base bloom nutrients (in preparation for the final week or two). ⏳ Day 57 (4/27): Watered with a lower dosage of Sensi Bloom A&B (.4 ml/l). Response has been good, with less burn on the new leaf tips. ⏳ Day 60 (4/30): Watered with an even lower dosage of the base bloom nutrients, and the new growth looks great. Hardly any defoliation needed, as the leaves are healthy. Next watering: around Day 63 (5/3) with CalMag (.1 ml/l), Sensi Bloom A&B (.3 ml/l), Overdrive (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Next Great White Top-Dress: around Day 67. Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿
