Going well, a bit experimental...
Going well so far. The yellowing happen early on and has been there for a while on a few of the leaves same with the couple curlys. I didn't wanna de-foliate any further at this moment. I feel light penetration is plenty under Scrog net and 520watts. Everything seems in order. CO² bag is in and has been in tent. This is plant second pot. Went from taracota 3 gal to quite large soil bag. I'm sure it's around 5g

This week I noticed she's thirsty. I've kept humidity right at 50% during flower and I've noticed the medium drying rather quickly compared to the prior weeks. Temps hover the same as well @80f-90f. The Main Cola and bud sights are really showing the signs of swelling especially after the boost of P.K. all photos are early on beginnings of this 5th flower week. Leaves taking on the initial oily and drippy trichomes look. Exciting. Cannot judge how many weeks left yet personally or rough estimate. I think when she is ready(good while yet); I will do two harvest, dependant on maturity, size, and trichomes on nice flat lower canopy. Probably closer to light main cola first where most energy is going, then lower lights to 12in over other branches/colas to give them the same treatment. Will watch close when doing so. Hope this is a proper idea....?
Week going good. She is growing STRONG and looking luscious. She has 16 main branches plus main cola.Cola branches and seem to really just be beginning to pack the weight on. I'm already very proud of her so far and I know she's only technically 1/2 way done with flower. I plan on a progressive harvest depending on maturity, of lowers. Main Cola first then lower to grow the rest to full potential. Mean while the rest dries and cures. I think this will be the way to do it. possibly? I see ALOT more potential on the lowers after mains cut and drying. as I'm 12in from cola and further from lowers. Smell is definitely enhanceing and my little 195cfm and filter is actually doing the job quite well.
As I am not real experienced; this has all been done by feel, observation, Plant response, using correct notes, and knowledge spread by all you wonderful medicine gardening people.
It is definitely hybrid and little is know on strain. Is anyone able to tell is this pheno-type appears more indica or sativa? It was fairly xmas tree until scrog, HST,LST...
ps*** I did a little dance when I saw both my two auto-fem "The Hog" sprout today and my two auto-fem "Banana Kush" again in my own soil mix using unconventional brands but equating the same mixture and nutes some of the big brands are running. It feels accompling doing alot, on all good; but(little) budget stuff, my 2nd real successful grow, and have done from my perception pretty good. Any and all pointers and constructive criticism welcome. I will be starting a diary soon on each the "Banana Kush" and "The Hog" I'm told they are pretty amazing strains. Any info on them of references are appreciated or great enhancement techniques appreciated. As this was started as therapy for me, and completely medicine and it's helped tremendously with ptsd and social anxiety.*
Help me fatten and bold her yield up! Lol
I'm technically probably about only 1/2 there and she is most definitely packing the size on still DAILY but I could always use more weight! You can definitely feel the heft of the branches now and the buds are becoming solid and swole.
unlike common perception, your contorl over such things is severely limited.
well-balanced diet and near-max DLI is all you can do. products taht promist bigger buds are simply lying. read the ingredients. these "special" products are made with ubiquitous things that are found in all fertilizer, anywhere, everywhere.... there's nothing special about it.
also, boosting p/k blindly is not wise, which is another common belief. too much is simply too much. and giving too much is a net-negative. there's a "right" amount and it is relative to other nuts fed, pH, VPD, light .. nearly all environmental factors.... while there may be more than one ratio of nutes that technically work, some are more optimal than others. it's messy and complicated. nothing a person can resolve growing a handful of plants. people that feel confident about such things are just engaging in masturbation.
Going good and I've had to really be very "involved" with this girl, and it's paying off. She just doesn't seem to stop packing mass and sugar on. Main Cola is massive. I had lights a bit close for a week, like a doofus so top fans suffered a bit, now on end of 8thw(real time) I've flushed her hard one good time and for last week will try ice water, and 24-48 hour dark. I've have done an immense amount of research into this strain lineage and it's very very mysterious but what my pheno seems very akin to is Chemdawg in grow and development.
I saw some burn so I did a flush, did wonders. Couldn't tell if I was a my goof of light too low earlier on and burned them a little or if it was early lock out signs, seeing as we are end of flowering cycle, she is still frosting and seeming just won't quite fattening. About a week ago I was honestly getting disappointed in Trichet out put, changed some things including the big boy flush and she really loved it. Now I'm moving into "drought" checking tricks daily even though lower branches and buds display orange hair and mixed tricks already, the top cola is still pumping new and nearly 90% still white pistols and still some clears->to cloudy. Very few Amber's. Some maybe influenced by my early light burn goof. Watching the small once "oily" looking sugar leaves all frost up. Gonna her go a bit more. Thoughts? She has the classic globular dense indica pheno heads and through LST trellis I was able to achive a pretty even canopy except main cola got a bit wild 😜 on me.
Update, re trellised to open up lower, she is straight Tangerines, Orange, and fruity smelling as allll get out. It's seriously a delicious smell. Very citrus like. Had to take some closer looks today and noticed the frost is accumulating by the day, buds dense, very very sticky and cola pistols went from like 5%on main cola to more like 20% over night. She is coming damn close to the 9th week and I'm watching daily. Did big flush about 4 days ago and then gave her another dose of just enough water, no drainage, and ice cubed soil. May be done before full 9 weeks. As this strains lineage is very mysterious, I've had to immense amounts of research on the lineage and close strains to make sure I'm keeping her happy. And "haha ooh boy!" - Micky Mouse growth seems close to Chemdawg, Paris OG, and some other kushes. I figure as I commonly see 7-9 on these indica dominant hybrids I gotta be close and I'm just gonna let the plant tell me. I am wondering when do the whole lights out for 24-48 hours before harvest?
I'm having an exceptionally hard time telling how close or far from harvest based on my trichomes. My eyes maybe not what they used to be. I...seem to see a mix from clear clear all the way to some Amber's. I'm using a jewelers lope and also zoom through camera etc. What do yall think as far as ripeness? Anyone able to zoom in? I did my best to try and get good pics.

yeah, wait for the pistils to start to coil up. shouldn't be long.
can always harvest the top colas first and let the lowers ripen more, too, if there is any deviation in development top-to-bottom, which generalyl is the case.
that way you don't have too early lower or too ambered up tops.
trichomes
pistils
density of colas. - use this one sparingly when the others point toward immediate harvest. no reason to fondle the plant more than necessary.
use more than 1 metric. you'll moer consistently choose the same point in ripening process. some strains won't show amber much at all even if you let it die on the stem.
