Vanilla Frosting Herm | #3

McGrowin Happy frog soil for now. Will switch to more and more Build-A-Soil 3.0 with up-pots. Day 1: Sprout yellow due to lack of light Day 2: Sprout turns green

McGrowin Day 8: Looking healthy enough, watering every other day Day 10: Put up on a box to get it closer to the light Day 13: LST and some Big Foot Gold + Recharge

McGrowin Getting ready to up-pot this week using 50/50 Build-A-Soil light and 3.0 plus mycos and biochar. Day 14: Nice growth above and underneath canopy

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

McGrowin Moved her into final pot. Will flip to flower along with the big bud in one month. looking forward to these photoperiods flowering! Day 32: final 5 gallon pot = BAS 3.0 and light as well as nutrients

McGrowin Vegging for close to one more month and will flip to 12:12 along with Big Bud Day 35: hit it with some recharge Day 36: looks nutrient burnt - relocated to the center of tent

McGrowin Day 49: flipped tent to flower with 12:12 light sched Day 56: neglecting to photograph and document the growth - mostly healthy overall with a little bit of nitrogen deficiency last week.

McGrowin 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.

McGrowin 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.

McGrowin 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).

McGrowin 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.

McGrowin 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.

McGrowin 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.

McGrowin Day 57 and looking forward to harvesting. Hoping to dry slowly. Gotta chop with others all at same time, so just waiting on this girl to wrap up. What do you think - she about ready for harvesting? Harvest day 60 Found seeds, nanners and pollen sack - fucking lame. we grow again another day! Likely will make bubble out of this stuff.

McGrowin 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.
