Rainbow Chip Christmas Run

Got the plant 7 days now. It was rooted in a small styro cup with straight coco.

Transplanted out of cell pot and into final 15 gallon pot. Watering at 6.5 pH, with fish shit everyday and recharge every 3 days.

Growth rate is a little slow by comparison, still have high hopes for this pheno as it's purple...I love color in my tent.

Week 3 has been a breeze. Retied the plant to spread it out alot. I am going to veg for 6-8 more weeks and transplant into a 25 gallon pot to give the roots some room for flower.

Transplanted from 15 gallons to 25 gallons at the start of the week. Changed amendment ratio to 50/50 of 444 & 284 as this is the last week of veg. Adjusted lst to have the canopy level and I will take clones before the flip to flower.

This is the last week of veg. Scrog the plant and took clones from the lower growth. It was transplanted the week prior so after 3 days of recovery from the lollipoping and shaping to fit the scrog. Literally had no issues the veg cycle.

Strech has been manageable and plant is healthy, not one leaf yellowed or showed any signs of deficiency/excess. Will defoliate at day 14 if the second week strech is alot, if not, then at day 21. Watering twice a day with 1 gallon per watering and I add fish shit and tribus bloom together every other watering day (so 3x per week) and recharge will only be used on Saturdays going forward.

Plant has doubled in size and has budlets growing all over. Top dressed at day 14 yo keep up with food and also did a heavy defoliation and removal of branches that was not to the top of canopy. Almost out of room vertically but I have faith I will squeak out this grow without light stress. No bugs, no wierd growth this run.

Heavy defoliation and removal of smaller branches, done. No hiccups so far into flower.

The healthiest plant I've grown so far, no signs of any deficiency or stress, yet the buds are developing slowly. The slow bud development may be strain specific, but I am not sure as it's my first time growing this cultivar. Looks like a 10 week flowering period run.

Buds are progressing....but not fat like my other grows, hopefully it will swell up and pack on load in the last week's of the grow.

Buds look great even tho yield may not. Looks like it'll be ready for chop at week 9 or 10. No issues throughout flower so far.

Smells amazing and looks amazing, just the yield looks small. Trichromes on all buds are still clear.

Trichromes are starting to turn cloudy, will harvest at 25% amber. Smell is amazing currently, smells like gasoline and wet socks. Still not excited about the yield but all the other factors make up for it. The longest flowering cycle I have ever encountered but it has also been my "easiest" grow so far!

Trichomes are half cloudy. Will harvest at 25-30% amber.

Forgot to take pics of harvest and post harvest...but it was a success
