Strain
All weeks from 5 will be condensed into this harvest update.
(Growing it, and resistance is super good. My environment was really harsh. Although there were some strains that pushed through with less side effects, 35c 70-80% rh at night 60% during day. Co2 dropping out causing the leafs to lose pigment and inturn look like they've had a battle with a rusthy pick fork)
(Condensed grows weeks all in this box from weeks 6-14)
Veg weeks 5-7, pre stretch before pre fower 4 days, 56-63 days in fower from pre fower to ripening.
Plant suffered coming into wk 5. Really harsh affects on leafs due during Heat wave. + adverse affects in substrate from bad enzyme reaction. Also co2 dropped out like 3 times and co2 ppm dropped below 350 and plants were still in high coming off 1100ppm only 5-10 mins before. This burnt the pigment and all the plants showed signs that they had nutrient burn. Whereas this is not the case. I used organic nutrients (which looking back was a poor choice doing co2 with really high heat).
Week 6 The plant did bounce back in week 6 after a hard defoliation and I upped the air flow and ventilation 3 fold with an amazing fan that the blades on it change direction as it turns 360 clock rotation around in a circle for 10 times (can also be set to whatever you like) and then turns counter clock wise adding such an amazing powerful air flow but as the direction of the wind changes so much. There's no wind burn from any plant and I had it very close to the wall of the tent and you don't lose any air intake. Check out ram smart fans (this 1 was gifted to me at 80% off from my grow store as it was on shelf, (only ever switched on show ppl how it worked, I love an owl bargin). I then decided to flip her as she was way more healthier.
Week 7 was short (I call this pre, pre fower stretch. Usually it can take from 7-14 days to show stigmata but with co2 the change took less than a week. She came through it really nice. Didn't stretch. I was going to HST but decided to wait until pre fower is over. And then HST so it doesn't stretch anymore. And my god the results. So if you're HST,in or super cropping do it after pre fower or 3/4 of the way into it.
Pre Flower Weeks 8-9
plant starts to show in this stage if you've made any mistakes like overwatering or overfeeding..as I was dealing with mad heat they were drinking 2+ liters of water a day. And the soil dried out so many times, then when it drinks water it then shows signs of excess watering. When growing with co2 everything is increased 3x more. Yes, you get bigger buds. Faster growth and so on. But, its the same, if you make any mistakes they show up much more quicker. Doing co2 growing. You really should just use it during fattening but as my temp was 32-36c from seed to harvest. I had to use co2 or plants would of died or very very weak. During the last wk of ripening I lowered the light down to 50% and turned on my AC and got my temperature to 26-7c. Still a little high But much better
Fattening weeks 10-12.5
Plant was defoliated. Opening her up to let better air flow. Got super huge big buys buds. The smells are just amazing. Extremely sticky. Really dense buds. The HST'ed bud is 2x the size of the others. Its hard to explain but its like a blueberry lemonade scent. Very nice.
Ripening weeks 12.5-14
Running my last 3 plants. Lowered light and brought temps down to much more manageable levels for ripening plants. She's held her stickiness. Buds are so pungent and glistening with resin. The smell u la la. I'm in love.
