Meat_Mistress Using Big Rootz Soil

Meat_Mistress PPFD @ 300 Running a humidifier

Meat_Mistress 380 PPFD Using Big Rootz soil

Meat_Mistress 5 1/2 inches, 450 PPFD 2/8: 9 inches, 480 PPFD, topped, a weak aroma is coming along. So far, so good.

Meat_Mistress 9 inches in height, 480 PPFD Topped on 2/8 to target growth to non-lateral Looking mean and green :) 2/10: measuring over 10 inches now, fan leaves are pretty. So far, so good. Impressed with the appearance thus far with very little meddling on my part.

Meat_Mistress She is filling out nicely, growing nodes in a cross pattern. Fan leaves are beautiful. Another week or so in vegetative state, then we will switch lights for flowers. Showtime! Light gassy aroma. Hanging out with a basil and oregano plant for company. The tent smells good. 518 PPFD, 12 inches in height

Meat_Mistress Growing great, filling out and looking green and healthy. Next week I will likely switch over to flowering light schedule. My plan is to supplement toward the last four weeks of flowering stage. So far, so good with the Big Rootz soil. Combining this soil with a small dose of Fish Sh!t is working great with this plant. Happy with this grow.

Meat_Mistress Switched over to 12/12 light schedule on 2/28

Meat_Mistress 590 PPFD, flowering is starting up Defoliated bottom portion of plant. I will defoliate the top portion next week. Do not want to shock her too much. I will supplement in two more weeks of flowering. Trying to test out Big Rootz soil through most of the grow. I figure the last four weeks of flowering could use a boost or two to develop terpenes, etc.

Meat_Mistress Starting to supplement a bit seeing as though I didn't upgrade my container with fresh Big Rootz soil. Starting with a schedule of FF Big Bloom and will add FF Tiger Bloom toward the last few weeks of flowering. 660 PPFD

Meat_Mistress In the middle of the flowering stage, here we go! Looking good in terms of bud growth. Leaves are yellowing a bit at the bottom, so probably trimming one last time. I will likely add Tiger Bloom and Humboldt's Secret Sweet & Sticky next week. Preparing for earlier flower readiness based on growth guidance and literature from Ethos.

Meat_Mistress On the homestretch, added Tiger Bloom last week (a bit behind on my diary!), but looking good to finish up in a few weeks. Based on Ethos notes, flowering finalizes around 50 days. Perhaps a 4/20 harvest? Watching the colors change and the buds grow

Meat_Mistress Buds are getting frosty and the a few hairs have changed from white to amber. Getting out the hand-held micro to take a look at the trichomes. Liking the looks so far, just a waiting game for some added weight and a bit more aging.

Meat_Mistress Overall, looking pretty good. Buds are getting nice and frosty. Trichomes are milky. Just waiting for a few amber trichomes to come through and for the hairs to turn amber. Hoping for a bit more weight, too, to the buds. Home stretch!

Meat_Mistress Almost there! Most trichomes are milky in appearance. Haven't spotted amber trichomes yet and some of the hairs are still white. A few more days and it will be time to bring this grow to a close. Cheers!
