Big Foot Gold 0.651 mll
Soak: 18 hours (had to tap seed to sink at 4 hour mark). Cotton Pad Method: light moisture (not soaked) until the tap root was 0.5" Transplant: Used the no-touch method to drop the tap root down into a slit (not a hole) in the dirt no more than 0.5" into unamended happy frog soil. Watering: Tent is staying pretty humid, so will avoid overwatering for the next few days. Will update each transplant.

Surprised by the canopy despite never topping her. Day 49: she's giving off a nice dank-smelling defensive odor and the canopy filled in nicely after some last Day 51: Flipping to flower in 2-3 weeks and will move into 4x4

Nice-sized colas across the canopy - slow stretching. I am hopeful the scrog works mainly to support branches in late flower as variety is known to produce dense buds.

Looking forward to trying out another bean of this genetic. She got pollinated, which greatly stunted growth, and patience to continue the grow.
