This variety from Humboldt is growing vigorously and receives little attention besides daily waterings. Fast grower! Day 21: Popped my topping cherry

Stoked on the growth of the twin colas. However, I was playing around with super cropping and snap... RIP to the largest cola nearest to the center of the light.

Day 76 from sprout and I am stoked for these buds. The frosting on these already has me salivating. Bummer to break off the central cola, but fucked around and found out.

Day 83 from sprout and she could have vegged for a bit longer if I had to do it over. However, looking healthiest of the four in the tent. Day 28ish of flower in these photos. Starting to bulk up and the fruity gelato is coming across in this pheno (could be wishful thinking).

Day 85 found like 3-4 spider mites on fan leaves right by where my cat got into the tent momentarily. Wild and glad caught EARLY. Killed them all by hand and dabbed Neem oil (with some regrets) on nearby leaves. Sprayed the surroundings of the tent with Neem oil (regret that a lil too). No damage or neem oil on the buds, so I think I am good. No more stippling spotted either and no spider mites signs at all now. If you see some let me know! Massive defoliation as part of the spider mite defense / insurance plan. Day 90 and noticeable bulking of flowers. The fuel smell is overpowering. The vanilla creamy smell is dull in comparison, but it is there.

Day 99: Cannot lie, I wonder if she's pollinated from the self-pollinated auto that hermed without me realizing it. Either way, fun grow minus the many hiccups.

Day 55 of 12:12 light sched and these girls wanted one final compost tea. Harvest looks like it'll be after 60 days based on continued growth and trichomes lacking amber.

Harvest day 60 Found seeds, nanners and pollen sack - fucking lame. we grow again another day! Likely will make bubble out of this stuff.

Overall, she was fun to grow and definitely fucked around and found out regarding lights. Gotta remember to switch the dimmer back to off position before going to bed in future grows.
