8/25 continuing Kratky grow, monster cropped. She was drowning in first week, I dropped water level 1/2" under net-pot, things are finally picking up with some root and plant growth. Great White has been used from the start. She's starting to grow leaves and picking up speed.

Defoliated some fans reducing solution uptake and help reduce pH swings. This will keep her smaller till her mother gets harvested in a week, maybe two.

Some LST done. Accidentally screwed up my timer and switched her to flower :( I've been trying to slow her down by keeping her under the shared 20 watt LED due to closet space shortage.😬

I did some LST with the wire ties, placed her in a 5 gal DWC with a 100W panel light, she should start to put on some flowers...

So had the air pump line come off, and then the root issue showed up. Treated with heavy dose of Great White (brown muddy stuff) and it seems to have got the fungus under control. I just added 1.5 mils of Southern AG "Garden Friendly Fungicide" to the 5 gal reservoir due to root growth slowing. She also had a calcium issue show up (been gone for 3 days), but I think it was due to pH out of range and my lack of adding any when I added nutrients. She still appears to be well over-all, just trying to get some new roots going.

Some progress in the roots using Great White and Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide, deficiency of potassium (added more) defoliation in a large way. Flower development is good under the 100W LED. 😀

Changed out 100% nutrients for new batch, used tap water soaked in peat moss reducing pH. 750 on ppm. Pulled a couple taller outer cola branches down evening up the canopy and allowing greater light penetration, LED is turned up to 90%.

Visible remnants of fixed nutrient deficiency, she's bulking, trichomes are building and she smells like a fruity melon which is slightly woody and peppered. She'll be ready for harvest next week, maybe the following...very sticky.

Week 12. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Everything was pretty easy with this cultivar. I haven't smoked any due to curing, but I've had it before and will say this is a favorite. It's a great medicine, smooth, taste is yummy and terene profile is fruity, piney and a bit skunky...excellent. The effects depend on the dose, micro dosing generates a very active effect, 4 hits generates a euphoric effect and more than 4 generates a space-x liftoff 😜 Great smoke for pa I still can't get a handle on the root rot, it may be temps and or the fact I'm monster cropping from a plant which had root rot. Either way I won't grow cuttings from plants which had previous issues with pythium. Great for pain management or socializing at a party, but beware of the dose.😜

Great easy cultivar to grow, even with the pythium issues in the higher temp DWC. The harvest was very resinous, the terpenes are amazing. The final weight should be pretty good, plants are finishing dry, I'll post dry weight when known. Thanks for hanging out and watching this girl grow :)😎
