She stretching a little. Lowered light to 24"
@ 30% at 300PAR
Shes looking healthy.
Germination Date 6/6/2023
Here we go!
I planted the seed in a Rapid Rooter that i planted in a small fabric pot. The soil is 80% Black Gold Starter mix and 20% FFOH and a tsp of Kelp Meal. I did this to give it a little nutes for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
She should be able to grow in that fabric pot for 2 to 3 weeks before transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric pot.
Just enough time for my organic soil to finish cooking. I am not using rabbit manure this run like I usually do. I have Fish Hydrolysate to water in if needed. Also Ill be making Banana Peel Tea for this grow to water in after the flip.
Cooking a variant of my homemade organic soil.

Shes stopped stretching. I got the light dimmer and distance perfect
24" at 50% dimmer
PAR is about 400
Added humidifier to keep it around 70% for now.
I have an Inkbird humidity controller coming in the mail.
I put 1/4 tsp of Myco+ root innoculant in 1 gal of pH 6.7 water.
I am using this during seedling and veg stage to boost root growth.

Theres light yellowing on the newer leaf growth. Theres a lot of NPK in my custom soil.
Only been using plain water last 2 waterings. I put 1tsp of Recharge once a week when I water. Ill be flipping the tent next week.
Keeping the tops even. Looking really good now. Flower flip is in 2 weeks.
Starting this week to prepare the tent for flipping to flower in a few days because the 2 Filipino Sativas are going gangbusters.
I removed the lower 33% of leaves and branches. She got plain water today. She's drinking 1 gal every 2 to 3 days right now.
Update 7/30/23
Lollipopped.
She's stretching really good. 8.5 inches in 7 days. I defoliated the canopy a bit to allow airflow and light penetration to bud sites.
I started using Alaskan Fish Morbloom 0-10-10 organic fertilizer for mad Blooms and dense nugs.
Using 10ml per gallon every 7 days for now. In 2 weeks I'm going up it to 15ml.
Moving to a 11/13 light schedule now to match the Filipino Sativas natural day/night schedule where it originates. I'll be slightly increasing the LED light to get the DLI up to compensate.
Flower stretch is pretty much over now.
Only 1.5 inches this week.
She's got some nice fat budlets compared to her tent mates. Looks like a fat harvest in the future.
No issues so far. I switched to using Tridents Pride 2-4-1 Fish Hydrolysate buffered with Potassium Bicarbonate to pH it to 6.5 and give it added K for flower.
1000ppm feed this week and will increase it a bit more for mid flower stage.
Some pistils turning. Still swelling up. Smell is very strong. Nice trichromes but not ready for a few more weeks.

Getting orange as more pistils curled in and change over. She's starting to fade as she transitions into late flower.
Looking beautiful now. Still not done yet.
Swelling up nice spade shaped buds and really hairy too. Beautiful orange color developing.
Amazing genetics from Expert Seeds.
New ScroG net was made and installed to keep training the Sativa in the tent that won't stop stretching still. So I carefully put the plants in and lined the colas up best I could.
She's got beautiful orange pistils against green buds. She looks more orange now. She's also still swelling and barely any amber trichromes. Maybe she got another week or 2 left.
She grew very well. No issues She took topping and LST very well. She stretched a little but not a lot. She got beautiful orange hairs and nice trichromes. Sticky and smelly.
