COPA Ancient OG F3

I had a couple plans of things to try for this grow: * grow a strain bred for the outdoors, but indoors. * grow a single plant in the tent, so it wouldn't compete with other plants. * grow regular seeds instead of feminized seeds: expands strain selection, reduce hermaphrodites, support local business. * use mostly organic nutrients for the grow (partial success). * upgrade to a stronger 300w light from my previous 150w light. For the strain, I originally picked out and bought COPA's Project 25 strain, but received this Ancient OG F3 as a freebie with it and changed my mind. It is originally a Bodhi strain but then bred for the outdoors by Motherlode and COPA. They have awesome pictures of outdoor monsters on insta. All seeds germinated easily, and I used a local DNA testing service to detect and remove the males, while they were still babies in solo cups. Really cool option for convenience, will use again. Used fox farms ocean forest + perlite + DE as the soil mix. For future grows, I will be adding dolomite lime! Overall soil did ok and the plant filled entire pot with its root system. I fed the soil espoma dry amendments and earthworm castings. Had quite a few earthworms wriggling through my soil the entire grow. Unfortunately experienced some acidification: flushed and bailed on organic nutrients, in order to contain it. Ultimate fix for the PH issue was dolomite lime, it seems to be a common issue with this soil. I had to plan the flowering around some holidays, so I wanted a slow veg. Pruned the plant in the mainlining-style for 32 tops, then stretched out with a trellis. If I could do the grow over, I would have topped one last time for 64 tops, instead of stretching. Each round of topping, I would let the plant grow 2 or 3 extra nodes out, then prune back. In Veg this was happening on a weekly basis. During flowering I brought the light up to 100%, which is very intense light levels for this small tent. I didn't know how much the plant would stretch and tried to reduce it as much as possible with light levels and temps. Flowering required watering and feeding twice a day to keep up with the plant's demands at these levels. If I had to leave for the weekend, i'd dim the light so that the plant drank slower, so my neighbor could water only once a day. Harvesting was a lot of work, at every step. I watered the plant before harvesting in order to slow down the dry. I left the shade leaves on the plant as well, removing them would have been too much additional work. I hung branches at 65F/50% with about 6 days, removed the buds into paper bags for about 1.5 days. Buds are now trimmed and stabilized in jars at 60%.
