This girl was switched to 12/12 on 7/11/18 before lights came on for that day, Day 1 of flower is being counted at 9 days in on 7/20.

Thinned out a few fan leaves and lower bud sites on Day 12 to improve circulation and light exposure. Seems to be doing well, minor nutrient burn has appeared. To correct, ppm has been dropped to 615 for next feeding and will water to about 15% more runoff than the usual 30% i shoot for. Any and all advice appreciated, im still pretty new to this. 8/1 - Day 13 of flower. Fed again like clockwork every 48 hours. new batch of nutes mixed in 5 gallons came out to 594 ppm, my tap is 91 ppm.

8/3 - Day 15 of flower, fed today at 590 PPM, 5.8 PH, and 2 gal total. Runoff approx 20%. Performed some light defoliation and picked off more minor bud sites to allow the plant to focus on the buds receiving the most light. Climate has remained stable with 24 hr records indicating H 77F/ L 70F and RH at H 58%/ L 48%. 8/5 - Day 17 watered to 10% runoff using water with 3ml/gal Cal Mag PH'd to 5.8. Ordered some Terpinator today. 8/7 - Day 19 fed at 615 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2.25 gal. Added Armor Si and FloraNectar today. Trichome production increasing and smell is starting to get loud. Plant looks very healthy despite the minor nute burn experienced last week. Will be amending my feed schedule from here on to a feed, feed, water w/CalMag. 8/9 - Day 21 Fed at 650 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2.25 gal. Added Terpinator in to the mix at 5 ml/gal to start. 24 hr climate records indicate H 77F/ L 72F and RH at H 56%/ L 46%. Bud sites are stacking nicely.

8/10 - Day 22 of flower, she is now drinking more and i will check on her this afternoon before lights out to see if she needs a drink. Climate remains stable, 24 hr records indicate a H 77F/L 72F and RH at H 55%/L 46%. 8/11 - Day 23 of flower, watered with 2.5 gal of water with Cal Mag at 3ml/gal, Armor Si at 1.5 ml/gal and Hydroguard at 2ml/gal. PH set at 5.8. 8/12 - Day 24 of flower, mixed nutrients for next feeding. Dropped FloraGro out this week and increased Terpinator to 10ml/gal. Buds are getting frosty and smell is taking on a light citrusy tone. 8/13 - Day 25 of flower. Fed at 740 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2.25 gal total. She is now drinking slightly more than a gallon a day. 8/14 - Day 26 of flower. Climate stable though i wish i could get humidity down around the 40% mark. First pistils are starting to darken. Still several weeks to go. 8/15 - Day 27 of flower, Fed at 720 PPM 5.8 PH and 2.25 gal total. Smell is a citrusy weed heaven! Buds are stacking up quite nicely and very sticky already though i avoid touching the buds if i can, I've brushed against some by accident. 8/16 - Day 28 of flower, I was advised by a fellow grower that I should increase my PPM to 800 for this stage for best results. Nutrient schedule now reflects todays feeding at 804 PPM, 5.8 PH. Climate records for the last 24 hrs are as follows - H 79F/ L 72F and RH of H 55%/ L 42%.

8/18 - Day 30 of flower. Fed at 794 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2 gal total. More pistils are starting to redden and curl, her flowers are gaining in size and density daily and the frost is continuing to build. The smell in the tent is mouthwatering!! 8/20 - Day 32 of flower. Fed at 740 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2 gal total. Still drinking heavily, I'm starting a gradual reduction of feeding strength prior to flush. 8/21 - Day 33 of flower. New light came, so i installed it. Now flowering under 600w HPS. 8/22 - Day 34 of flower, Buds are getting nice and frosty and have a delicious fruityness to the smell. Gave 2 gal of tap water PH to 5.8 today. Hoping to see some real density pack on in the next few weeks with the HPS. 8/23 - Day 35 of flower. Added dehumidifier to tent to bring RH down in attempt to pack on more trichomes. Still finding that perfect setting but so far so good. Checked on her this afternoon, and she was light and dry, so she got fed at 680 PPM, 5.8 PH and 2 gal total.

8/24 - Day 36 of flower. Dehumidifier is working great and buds are super frosty. 24 hr climate records indicate H 82F/L 72F and RH at H 44%/L 32%. Will continue slow drop of nutrients until flush, Current solution for next feeding mixed to above ratio coming out at 630 PPM. 8/25 - Day 37 of flower, Beginning of flush, Gave 2 gal of tap water PH to 5.8. Initial runoff reading of 1570 PPM 8/27 - Day 39 of flower, continuing flush with another 2 gal of tap water PH to 5.8. Runoff reading of 920 PPM. 8/28 - Day 40 of flower, She was light and dry close to lights out, gave her approx 4.5 gal of water PH to 5.8. Final runoff reading was 294 PPM. 8/30 - Day 42 of flower, Flushed with approx 8 gallons of water PH to 5.7. Final runoff reading of 106 PPM, Medium is now flushed. Buds are continuing to swell, feel quite firm, and some branches are falling over from bud weight, smell is delicious tropical fruit with a earthy spice underneath. Trichomes are approx 15% cloudy. Won't be long now.

8/31 - Day 43 of flower, in cruise control til the finish. Have small ac unit blowing in tent to bring temps down a little, as i'm worried about density issues with the heat created by the dehumidifier. values for the last several hours have remained rock steady at 72-73F and 30-33% RH. 9/1 - Day 44 of flower. Gave 2 gal of water PH to 5.8. sticky sticky buds!! 9/3 - Day 46 of flower, Ughhhh they are taking forever!!! Gave another 2 gal of water today PH set to 5.8. Leaves show signs of lighter color but still pretty green. approx 25% cloudy trichomes. trimmed off a lil tester bud that was hanging down low. 9/4 - Day 47 of flower, lots more trichomes are turning cloudy, starting to see some tinges of fall colors in the edges of the sugar leaves. I believe the color show is about to commence! Pushing low temps down to 68F. 9/6 - Day 49 of flower, watered with 2 gal of 91 ppm water PH to 5.8. Nearing the finish line on her, edges of some leaves are starting to show reds and purples and yellows, check day 49 pics! next week will probably be the final week, but no guarantees.

9/7 - Day 50 of flower, She's leaning like crazy from the buds! I've tried giving her some support, but shes just too heavy at the tips for it to matter much. Senescence continues and hopefully this will be the final week before harvest. 9/10 - Day 53 of flower, Chopped today! No wet weight because i dry on the stem. More pics and weight to come on harvest report. 9/14 - Almost ready to come down and into jars. I try to make it minimum 5 days hang time. Buds feel dry to touch but stems not quite snapping yet. Maybe tomorrow.

She was forgiving of my mistakes, handled topping and lst well, and yielded well despite my errors. The harvest is a solid batch of mids, Nugs range from marbles to ping pong balls in size. I feel in the hands of a more experienced grower, yields and potency could be improved. Not a bad strain at all given the cost of the genetics, stability of the plant and other factors involved. I would purchase these genetics again.00000
