This is my first experience but she was absolutely receptive to every change I made, no problems at all. I'm definitely wanting to see what I can do with this strain, with a little experience under my belt. I was really surprised at the pronounced shift in the odor in the last week, from creamy and sweet orange to ripe mandarin with a little grapefruit? Hard to explain but a delight.

Really pleased that her roots kept developing up the buried portion of stem

Had this on hand, used scant amounts (half dose or less) sporadically while waiting for my medium to come in, and as a little boost once a week in late veg/ flower.
I was really amazed by this little light. Bought it heckin' cheap (less than a hundred) to replace my blurple, wondering if it could really bring me through flower. The results are in! I'd buy another one if I could find another, even though they can't daisy chain.
Really wanted to leave the roots intact for the dry...I really don't know why, in retrospect. Something I read somewhere. My exhaustion level and the depth and breadth of her root ball ended up with her chopped, shouldered onto a clothes hanger by her branches, and hung up scrog and all. Refastened the scrog to keep her stretched out a bit for airflow, just seemed the most convenient way. Got my humidity between 50-60, temps between 65 and 72. Close enough, I figure! Followed my same philosophy for pruning while growing and went halfway with it - took the fans off from around the big colas, but left more around smaller areas that would dry faster. Or at least that sounded logical in my head. I've no way to weigh her right now, but I'm guessing maybe 3.5-4oz of nice bud with a decent amount of trim left for some cookies. I'll come back when I've got her dry and broken down/trimmed for curing, with actual numbers and pics of the bud.
Edit, day 6 of dry. Hooooly motherload. RH dipped down to 48 unnoticed for a bit, adjusted lung room humidifier (took a hot shower with the bathroom door open) and helped myself to my first grower's pick, vine dried breakfast of the champions from one of the smaller top (formerly known as bottom) buds. The green banana is gone. Sticky sweet orange, even the dry bits are resinous as hell. Still green, yes, but in the way of biting into an orange through the peel. A few snips of some leafy bits and she was burning happily in my bowl, zero effort to keep her lit. Heavy body high. Jacked my shoulder up bad last week at work, and I genuinely think I might get some decent sleep today. And a lot of problems are looking a lot less complicated. Quite uplifting, in a calming way. Feeling of contentment is immense. Flavor is noticeable orange, currently 50/50 with the green weed taste, and a little something herbally.
Day 7 of dry. 4.5 hours trimming, 6 pairs of gloves. An even qp of manicured(ish. I'm tired.) bud, along with 1.7 oz super sugary trim and larf for my next batch of cannabutter. I'm content beyond words, I can't believe this worked.
Purple/red stems and petioles on upper growth, mimosa x orange punch. I think the plant looks otherwise healthy, lots of growth. Genetic expression or cal/mag deficiency?
Some strains will have purple stems - I don't know about this particular one but if the plant looks/acts healthy otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see any evidence of a deficiency so I don't think you have anything to worry about!
Good luck!
Absolutely normal... pistils don't get burned, they get ripe. Time to start checking the trichs to see when you might expect to get sent to trim jail!
Good luck!
Beautiful fat colas on that girl ๐
Great first grow
Glad to see you are being patient so she is able to reach her full potential.
Keep up the good work

@Inganjawetrust, I really wasn't expecting them to get as chonky as they did - her biggest ones are starting to make her stems lean over even supported by the trellis. Just now learning about plant yoyos and silica supplementing, I'll be sure to have some on hand if I'm lucky enough to have this problem again.
@guerilla, I'm so excited! Been boycotting the market for many months now and this is the first pure and natural homegrown I'll have ever had. My relationship with this plant is completely reset, and I love it.
@Pure_Instinto_Seed_Bank, Thank you! I sure hope I win, everyone has been growing fire left right and center and all the diaries look so good. I'd really love to get some of that Peanut Butter Cookie growing in my tent! Oooh, or cherry cookies. Or Spooky OG. They all sound so good :D
Boom! Congrats on reaching the end fam โบ๏ธ๐ Your plant looks incredible! Canโt wait to see some harvest pics of the dried buds. Well done on this one, seriously. Youโve clearly got a very sticky green thumb. more fat buds to come ๐
@kizdog, thank you so much! Your diary was the first I studied here where I was like, this. This is what I want to do. And I studied every picture. The seeds of instruction and guidance y'all are dropping here are budding out into colas of knowledge and self agency all over the world, dude. All the very best vibes to you and your ladies. <3
Your look farther then mine. Mine took about 2 weeks to get hair on hps. Think that's why. Going to do same stain under Mars fce3000 in 3x3 see how light does against 600 watt hsp
@Budzalot,tbh man I'm kinda wondering if I got a crazy pheno- I thought she started maturing dumb early too. F45 now and on trich watch - she popped pistils at day 6. I really wish I were advanced enough to clone, but this will be my first harvest ever so I'm trying to concentrate on one thing at a time, lol. Def getting more of these seeds though.
@HappyWeeds, thanks so much! And the highest of tidings to y'all and y'all's! Had a hilarious time today with this lady, teaching the offspring what a gravity bong is. (It's fine, they're 30 and I think they were humoring me anyway lmao.)
