Cream of the Crop Grow Off

4/15 - moving the tomatoes outside. They make it so humid in the tent. Letting it air out. The cone is moldy, yellow stuff, but the plant seems happy 4/20 - fed and watered, gave her maybe a pint of water at most, the soil was dry, but the bucket holds it pretty well.

4/24 - this is when the growth starts taking off, probably one of my favorite parts of the growth cycle, being surprised by how big the plant gets 4/27 - seeing roots through the side of the bucket. Fed and watered, gave about a cup.

5/3 - topped between 5th and 6th node, removed first node, pinned branches out flat, removed 2 big fan leaves blocking the lower branches, watered and fed, gave a bit over one quart. She's showing pistils already! 5/5 - repositioned the training wires and removed the top 2 large fan leaves. One of the lower branches reached the side of the container, so I topped it there.

5/6 - added more stakes to bend over the top branches, removed a couple leaves, and topped the lowest branch on the left to match to one on the right. 5/11 - watered and fed, gave her about a quart of water with nutes.

5/14 - she felt a bit light weight, so I gave her a quart of pH adjusted water with some Recharge. 5/17 - she's got a couple yellow leaves toward the bottom and was looking droopy. Fed and watered her with just under a half gallon of pH adjusted water and mixed nutes. 5/19 - removed the yellow leaves around the bottom.

5/22 - fed and watered, some of the lower leaves are yellowing again and she's quite lightweight. She dries out quick, maybe from being in small 1 gallon container. Gave her about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes. Also raised the light about 5 inches. 5/25 - looking a bit droopy, fed and watered, gave about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes, and trimmed off the yellowing leaves

5/29 - fed and watered. She's thirsty, took nearly a half gallon this time. 6/1 - looking light stressed, raised the light as high as it goes. May have to move her down to the floor. 6/2 - fed and watered, gave her about a half gallon of water

6/6 - fed and watered, gave about a half gallon. Cut off the yellowing leaves. Based on trichomes, this may only have a few weeks left, so I'm considering the yellow to be more of its fall colors. Will probably start flushing her next week and do so for 2 weeks. 6/8 - when I opened the tent, this is the one I smelled first. Not sure what it is or if I like it. Kind of a cake batter smell, mllild lemon, but also reminds me of paint.

6/10 - really smelling like cake these days, sweet and sticky 6/11 - fed and watered, gave about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes, upped the bloom a bit. Also noticing leaf tip burn and photo bleaching, so I removed the stand, moving the pot to the floor.

6/17 - starting week 10, day 70 6/18 - seeing a few amber trichs, will start flushing, it may only be a week until she's done 6/20 - started flushing, gave her a quart of pH adjusted water 6/22 - continued to flush, gave her a quart of pH adjusted water

6/26 - feeling light, defoliated a bit and took off a lot of the yellowing leaves, then flushed with about a quart of pH adjusted water, still needs more defoliating 6/29 - defoliated quite a bit more, then gave her the last flush of pH adjusted water

7/2 - she's just about dried out and ready to chop. Placed her in darkness for 24 hours, will chop tomorrow.

Really easy grower. Topped between 5th and 6th nodes, removed the bottom node, and then trained outward for the remaining 4. Grew in a really nice, uniform shape.
