Day 1 July 18 Broke soil this morning! Have the plant under my seedling lamp, getting 5k lux atm. Removed the dome and misted the soil. Keeping room warm and humid Day 4 July 21 Looking nice and healthy. Spraying the soil few times a day with pH'd water 6.5. Had light watts dimmed 50% by accident at work one day and they stretched. No worries :)

Start of week 2! July 25 First week went well, and the seedling lamp once turned up to 100%, it worked well for them. With hot temps this past week they needed 25ml of water twice as well as daily sprayings. Today I decided it was time to get them in a proper home so I put together my mars hydro 2.5x2.5 tent and put in a SF1000w and a Viso Sun 4 inch inline fan. This is a non dimmable version so it is at 41" from top of plant and putting out 8.8k lumens. Temps and humidity are pretty much bang on! Going to be a good week with the new light for them! Day 10 July 28 Been mid/high 30° outside so I have been battling the heat in the tents. Sitting around 26/27°C but will be over soon! They don't seem to be bothered and I am making sure they are getting enough water daily at 6.5pH. Humidity has been sitting around 60%

Start of week 3! July 31 Beat the heat wave! Sat around 30° in the tent the whole time, but finally it will be back to normal temps starting tomorrow. Watered daily and just kept an eye to make sure the heat never got too bad. Hoping for faster growth now that environment will be back to normal August 4 Plant is looking nice and healthy and growing at a decent pace. Will add cal mag in my next watering. I am watering everyday at 6.5pH just until about run off. Give it another week and I will top it and transplant!

Start of week 4! Aug 8 Transplanted into half gal container. The roots looked very nice! Mixed coco with 20% perlite and 25% Gaia Green worm castings. Top dressed 15ml/gal Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4. Watered very well after as we are in another heat wave here. Will top in 2 days Day 25 Aug 11th Took very well to the transplant and is loving the new pot. Daily water at 6.5 pH. Topped to the 4th node today

Start of week 5! August 15 Getting daily water of 6.5 pH. Topping went well, plant responded quickly and the lower branches are starting to grow quick. Doing some leaf tucking as well to help! I decided to transplant today as I am flipping on wednesday. I don't want to, but the contest will be over soon. The final pot for flowering is 1 gal. I mixed Coco with 20% Perlite and 25% Worm Castings from Gaia Green. I did 50/50 Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4 and Power Bloom 2-8-4 at 15ml/gal. Will update when I flip

August 18 Day 1F Flipped to flower and I will count this as day 1, but will keep an eye on when buds start to form. Looking nice and healthy, and seems to be no issues even though the heat is kicking our ass atm. Excited for flowering. Doing simple leaf tucking atm and will see if I do any other training

Start of week 2 flower! August 25 This past week was rough for heat in the tent, but this plant wasn't fazed at all. Stretched an insane amount, and is looking very healthy. Daily water at 6.5. I moved this girl into the 5x5 being powered by an SE7000 sitting at 32" from canopy and running at 60% power. I am going to just continue to water for a few days then top feed. The canopy could use some training but I may just leave it other than the topping Aug 28 Started to show buds forming today, so here we go! Excellent growth during the stretch and became very tall for the veg length. Grew 4 long sturdy tops with very little fan leaves. Added 15ml/g cal mag to todays watering

Start of week 3 flower! Sept 1 Plant is looking real good! 4 sturdy as hell branches with tops that are forming buds at a good pace. Small plant, but gonna be a beast! Nice and healthy but still feeding cal mag every second watering at 6.5 pH. Did some light defoliation this morning. Will top feed in a few days Sept 01 Top dressed today as leaves were starting to show light green. 15ml/gal Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4

Start of week 4 flower! Sept 8 Everything is going smooth for this plant. Stretch was real for this girl, almost went 3x her size. The stretch is over and it is going to be full flower mode soon! Been watering daily with 6.5 pH water as well as adding cal mag to almost every watering at the moment. Struggling slightly with light green appraring on leaves, hasn't been getting worse since I fed and been using cal mag. Later today will be doing a very small defoliation.

Start of week 5 flower! Sept 18 Growth of the buds, and trichome production is looking great so far! Unfortunately for this grow I forgot that I switched to coco from living soil, which means I was watering with 6.5 pH instead of 5.8. The last week or so I started getting brown/rust spots and yellowing leaves starting lower on the plant. Tried multiple solutions until I realized it was a pH issue (hopefully). Yesterday I flushed the plant with 5.8 pH water and until decent amount of run off. Will continue to water at 5.8 pH and monitor the symptoms. I also top fed for the last time this grow! 15ml/gal of Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 Day 31F Sept 21 Did one last small defoliation too open up the middle a bit. Buds are huge on this plant already and it's early on in flower still! Very little trichome production so far, but that will soon change. fantastic This plant smells earthy, but not much else yet. Looking forward to see late stage flower Continuing to water daily at 5.8 pH water, and keeping my eye on the slight pH issue I was having

Start of flower week 6! Sept 24 Another week went by and this plant is doing great! Besides this small issue that seems to be slowling down, it is producing very big buds (and I mean big!) with the trichome production just starting to ramp up. The smell is pretty muted atm, but I have no doubts in a few weeks time! Watering at 5.8 pH seems to be slowing down the issue I was having. Lights are now around 90%

Start of week 7 flower! Oct 1 This plant has just been cruising along, the issue has slowed down greatly, but still there a bit. Buds have finally stopped growing and starting to build the structure and trichomes. Gonna be some nice big buds as there are a few weeks left to go for sure, and these are the biggest buds in the tent for sure. Excited for the next few weeks! Oct 4 These buds are still gaining in size and trichome production. Food is depleting so I am hoping it is ok to last another few weeks. These buds are going to be killer!

Start of week 8 flower! Oct 8 Everything is going well. Seems like a heavy feeder, next time will add a bit more to help last through late flower. Smell is becoming pungent and the trichomes are starting to stack. Big dense nugs, that still have a few more weeks. Daily water at 5.8 pH and this plant is cruising

Start of week 9 flower! Oct 15 This plant is looking great for the minor issue I can’t solve. Just watering daily and got a few weeks left. Huge nugs, stacking in weigh daily and starting to fox tail I think. Aroma is a nice musky smell that is starting to get strong

Start of week 9 flower! Oct 22 This plant is just cruising until the end. Huge dense nugs thay are stick stacking on weight with the aroma getting stronger. Musky smell which is amazing. Daily watering as well

Start of week 10 flower! Oct 29th Everything is still going great. Nugs are fattening up still and they are dense as all hell! The aroma is getting pungent and is musky. Couple more weeks I think

Start of week 12 Flower! Nov 5 Holy crap this plant looks unreal. Huge buds, smells very musky and is packed with trichomes. The pistols are now starting to curl in and the trichomes are pretty much 100% milky. Getting close!

Start of week 13 of Flower! Nov 12 This plant is producing absolute massive nugs. Very excited for harvest. The smell is a very strong musky earthy smell, and the buds are taking on a beautiful purple hue. Trichome check shows another week

This plant grew some huge buds that are very dense and smell of pungent musk. Lovely grow! Drying at 60°/60rH, will update when dry.
