Gave her a good and needed trimming, taking her sweet time flowering, she's got the pistils though. this one is trying to go the distance, if she makes it, this for sure will the longest time I've grown one since ive started, probably going to stick with the current feeding until she fills out with pistils more then I'll go full bloom

I have to find a way to raise these lights, I turned the wattage down to 100, might have to up her nitrogen more, ill move the light up first before I do, I think I might have light burn or a nitrogen Def starting, her roots fills up the bucket almost half way up it, so far so good

Had to move the light higher, she's either showing signs of light stress or she needs feed more, because of her size I can no longer lift her hat to feed her so I made a control bucket and another bucket with a pump so when it's time to empty that bucket out I can.I also have a cam pointed at the water level so I can feed her wherever I am, i had to use smart plugs into another smart plug to be able to use split screen on my phone because not every app can use dual screen on my Pro 7 apparently, only the Blink app and smart things would work, now i can watch it fill and know when to stop. I keep the control bucket ph at 6.5 so if her ph is low it will raise it which is usually the case, I make sure she has a gallon gone before I do so though, it makes it easier to keep the ph in range that way the bucket in the tent also has a sample port as well, she's a beast and starting to stretch her bud sites nicely

Not much to say, still growing, gotta move the lights up again, probably will be the last time doing so, The ph has remained at a good steady 6.3, I feed her when a half gallon has been consumed, the outside res holds 4.5 gallons so I don't really have to do much id like to have it autofill half a gallon every 24 hours, i might give that a try, Im ready for this to be done already lol

After reaching out and receiving some awesome advice I was informed that I could possibly have a photo and not an auto, so i trimmed her up, chopped a ft off her and removed under developed branches, leaves etc ill be putting her on a light schedule as well, I'll probably wing her to just bloom nutes and not a mix, light intensity has been set to 150 watts going to raise temp to 70 and humidity to 60% as well. I left a small small section a little higher, it looked super healthy so I left it alone. waiting on some clone gel to arrive so I can practice my hand at that, thanks to everyone for all the help, suggestions and support I really appreciate it

Seems to be recovering from a lot of leaf and branch removal, up'd her nitrogen and it shows, seeing a better healthier green now, noticed some leaves with snail like looking spots on them, I didnt see any bugs with the loupe so I started her on a insecticidal soap right before bed just to be on the safe side, started her on a 12/12 light schedule as shes believed to be a photo instead of an auto,hopefully she starts explosive flowering soon,

Looking better and better thanks to some good community support, increased the bloom nutes, dropped the grow nutes, increased cal mag slightly to make up for the removal of the nitrogen in the grow nutes and also introduced raw sweet, lights at 150 watts and spraying her down with Insecticidal soap every couple of days seems to be helping with the slug looking stuff on the leaves, possible thrips but I haven't seen any, she's looking really healthy and showing that pretty lime green color while it's trying to flower, trying to be delicate as possible so she doesn't hermie

Doing good, the blooming is coming alone nicely, dropped the the bloom nutes from 20ml to 15ml after noticing some nute burn, also some burn from spraying her down and the lights on too long 😦 other than that she's still tolerating the lights okay, so glad I took the community advice and kept with it.

So....I was checking my water level one night on the grow bucket with the night vision on the camera and I saw these little tiny things crawling on the section of the bucket facing the camera, they weren't moving very fast. I went down stairs concerned and took a quick look and nothing there so the makes eye couldn't see what ever it was or is, I sprayed down the side of the bucket and got gone because she was sleeping and didn't want to throw her off. The next day I slathered the tent with neem oil and more insecticidal soap I haven't seen anything since the first time I saw them, and looking at her the buds seem fine and I don't see any webs or anything like that around them or on them, unfortunately I might have to pull her do to a possible infestation. I pulled a sample size from her before even noticing the bugs and it smoked nice but I'd rather wait 2 more weeks to go pul her but I might not have a choice I might just pull her or just keep an close eye on it, she's so close and she's come a long way

Looking good, did find a dead spider on the top of a bud kinda, other than that I haven't seen any other bugs, Amber trichs coming in here and there, more importantly she has a shit ton of milky trichs so she's where Id like her to be, very very very sticky, smells like garlic and pinesole got some good dense buds on her too, 1 week till the chopping block not expecting to much of a yield due to having to chop her up really good that one week but it's better then nothing it's all possible to some great advice and awesome encouragement from this community, it's been a journey, glad to share it with all of you

Well its been quite the ride, she fought a possible bug infestation, not big enough room for her, her caregiver oblivious to the fact she was in fact a photo period and not an auto, chemical burn, lights too close to the canopy, a power outage and a Mass exodus of foliage due to being to close to the lights which dramatically hurt her yield, but here we are, given the fact that she could have been done and it being my first photo, I'm happy that she yielded what she did given the circumstances. I wanted to and can't stress this enough THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WITH YOUR ADVICE, SUGGESTIONS AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO KEEP HER GOING, IF IT WEREN'T FOR ALL OF YOU ID HAVE NO HARVEST AND WOULD HAVE TOSSED HER, AGAIN THANK YOU ALL
