πππππ PROGRESS UPDATES πππππ
1οΈβ£ June 4th, 2023
This was planted a few weeks ago, but due to an accident, I lost a few of her sisters, and this was transplanted from its root bound tiny pot to mother earth just the other day.
2οΈβ£ June 5th, 2023
She was too hot. Needed to cool her down and slow evaporation with some crappy red mulch.
Edit: Took another photo today when the sun wasn't so high!
3οΈβ£ June 6th, 2023
She's finally getting drenched with some rain. It's going to be a couple days of thunderstorms, so taking a photo now while I can.
4οΈβ£ June 7th, 2023
Looks like we're starting to grow now.
6οΈβ£ June 9th, 2023
She's doing fine. She really likes to hang low to the ground, but I think she is going to explode when ready. :)
7οΈβ£ June 10th, 2023
She looks a bit happier and ready to climb now that the sun came out today. Lift off? Or how about just a little hop off of the mulch?
9οΈβ£ June 12th, 2023
She is 4in tall today.
Yesterday, her feeding program was adjusted now that she is stable and seems to have a well-established root system. Soon, we should start to see her show us what she is made of. I wanted to take it slow and make sure she was well-adjusted to the outdoors before letting her take off. This is because she was very young when an equipment failure forced me to move her outdoors.

Sorry, but it is back to storming pretty constantly around here (see image). I'll get proper images as soon as weather permits! On the plus side, I haven't had to manually water in a long time. :)
1οΈβ£6οΈβ£ June 19th, 2023
Finally, a beautiful day for a picture!
1οΈβ£7οΈβ£ June 20th, 2023
I didn't spend much time outside today as I was getting quite dizzy from the heat wave, only enough time to get a quick height measurement: 10in tall
Edit: Back at dusk for some pictures!
2οΈβ£0οΈβ£ June 23, 2023
It's 91F today and she's loving it!
2οΈβ£1οΈβ£ June 24, 2023
She's flowering! I started to see more than just pistils yesterday, but wanted to be sure. So, she started flowering on day 20. Cool.
At least 10 days of pretty major thunderstorms here. It's never been like this before. Well, I'll try to get out and take pictures over the next couple of weeks when it isn't pouring. For now, here's what she looks like at 15in tall now.
2οΈβ£5οΈβ£ June 28, 2023
I see buds!
3οΈβ£5οΈβ£ July 8, 2023
We have leaf chomping visitors to try to keep at bay.
3οΈβ£8οΈβ£ July 11, 2023
She's liking the blue sky for the first time in a while.
4οΈβ£1οΈβ£ July 14, 2023
This week she begins coating herself in gleaming frost.
4οΈβ£4οΈβ£ July 17, 2023
Sunset shots with flash on today. Looking pretty if I may say so :)
5οΈβ£1οΈβ£ July 24, 2023
She smells sweet and skunky and different. I can't wait to crack open some cured buds of hers! Harvest time: 8-12 days.
5οΈβ£3οΈβ£ July 26, 2023
Enjoy some dusk photos!
5οΈβ£4οΈβ£ July 27, 2023
We are now in the single digits. Expected harvest time: 5-9 days.
5οΈβ£5οΈβ£ July 28, 2023
Trichome inspection says we are on the close side. Very close.

Dude, I just harvested one of these (indoor) and it was delicious. To me it tastes like fruit punch with a hint of diesel. Happy growing brother! ππ±βοΈ
@yan402, I just had another look at yours, and I think they look pretty similar. My leaves are slightly curled and the angle isn't the greatest. They do not look like an unhealthy curl yet though. I think maybe they are just really excited that it isn't cloudy and thunderstorming for the first time in several days, and it's bright and hot out today. It could also just be my feeding. I am using a slow release fertilizer, feeding only 7-9 days.
@Sour_D, thanks man. it's fun because my outdoor grows get very little fertilizer, sometimes none if I'm familiar with the strain. I just pretty much forget about them and let them grow, except this year, it's a little more work, making them presentable for all of you and taking pictures :)
