Finally lost its seed shell. I put a clear cup over it for a little protection, and gave it some root wise.

Plant looks good. She’s going into her forever home soon!!! The cover crop is jammin, It’s about 5 inches tall at least. I’ll probably spray everything with a compost tea and quillaja extract powder this week.

So far so good, she is in her forever spot. She is probably going to get topped this week. The bed looks happy. There were even a couple mushrooms growing in there this week.

Everything looks good, plant got topped this week. It might’ve got a little bit of rootwise this past week but not too much else for nutrients just water. I seem to have some fungus gnats around, so I released some ladybugs and going to water this week with nematodes.

She’s looking super healthy and grew about 4 inches. She’s starting to bush out, I may do some more topping one more time. I’m trying to make it take up the entire 4 x 4 scrog. Not getting a ton of nutrients again this week, just some wetting agent and some horticultural coconut. ** I always aerate my water up to 24 hours**

Another strong week! She’s starting to really bush out. I topped her in four different places and may give her a compost tea this week. I have to go through my notes to see what nutrients I may give to her.

I was away this week, so she just got water. She is super healthy. Some of the branches are as thick as the main stem.

This is another quick post this week because I missed last week, but I’m caught up now. This applejax is a beast. It’s almost taking up the entire 4 x 4 Scrog. I’ll be adding a second layer of netting soon for bud support. She got a little bit of wetting agent, coconut powder and fish shit this week. Tomorrow she gets a new light, upgrading some lights and moving stuff around. It’s probably not the best idea to mess with the lights right this second, but this new HLG is going to be a game changer. **GAME CHANGER installed Saturday**

This is transition week, I changed my light from 18-6 to 16-8. This past weekend I upgraded my light, soil moisture meter and temperature sensor in my room. I got a new HLG light and Ecowitt gauges. As far as nutrients: I top dressed lightly with a veg/bloom mix. I also did a top dress of some homemade worm castings and water. ** I did just give her a little bit of compost tea ** The second scrog net will go on today. So it knocks down some of the tops to control her a little, and for future support.

She is jamming out! She got flipped to 12/12 couple days ago, so she’s in her first week of flower stretching out. I did add a second Scrog net last week like I mentioned for extra support. I’m just pumped, I wanted one beastly plant to take up the entire 4 x 4 room, and here she is. Not 100% sure what she’s getting for nutrients this week. Definitely some bloom booster, enzyme elixer and big 6 micros.

Good looking week, she’s starting to show pistols everywhere. She probably stretched about eight inches, but I kept spreading her out using the second scrog net. A couple weeks ago, I stripped everything underneath the first scrog fencing. I may, after defoliating take a couple more branches out of the middle section. I’m just focusing on a lot of big tops. She’s probably not getting a ton for nutrients just some fish shit and plain water.

Well, I believe I have accomplished my goal for one plant to take up this whole room. She’s touching all four walls of the 4 x 4 and is 45 inches tall. I hope she’s done stretching, I had to raise my light as high as it can go now it’s time to throw down some nuggets. Watering shouldn’t change too much, maybe a little bud builder, bio phos, bio catalyst and molasses once but that’s about it, just regular water.

She’s looking great, super happy, reaching for the light. Seems like she is done stretching finally. She’s starting to throw down some frost and show a little bit of color. I did end up top dressing with some worm castings and gave her some molasses a couple days ago.

She’s been crushing it this week! She’s starting to really chunk up and even starting to see some purple coming through. Also, the aroma has kicked up big-time, almost has like a funky cheese smell to it. Last week I did end up giving it some compost tea, this week I’ll probably just be some build a bloom in molasses. She’s also going to 11/13 now for the light.

This is the start of week 6 of flower! She will be getting the last bit of nutrients given to her this week. This way she's got a little bit of food for the next two or three weeks. Then she can ripen up the last week or two with nothing. I'll be top dressing her with some Kashi, flower finisher, worm castings, bloom booster...

Looking good, she’s got about two or three weeks left I would say. She is starting to color up real nice, I’m getting excited to watch her chunk up and ripen up.

This lovely lady is looking and smelling amazing!! It’s the start of week eight, Apple Jax says it is 60 to 65 days for flower. I’m just letting her ride and ripen up. She’s pretty much just getting water and maybe a little bit of fish shit.

She is still alive and kicking. It smells amazing and looks awesome! She won’t be getting much of anything except for water for the rest of the time, not that she’s gotten much anyways. I’m just waiting for her to tell me she’s done. It’s almost harvest time!!!

It looks so good the purple is so dark it’s black. Super frosty very pungent aroma. I’ll post the final weight in a few weeks. **Jjust a quick update - dried weight after 21 days from the chop 410 g. Not bad considering the light was only used for flower. Can’t wait to get a full cycle with this bad boy. **

Cool tumbler. How much did it run ya if you don't mind me asking. I have a bowl trimmer but still hand trim here and there. I'd imagine that thing also collects the trichomes falling off. Good looking plant and harvest. Looks great

@Dabking, the twister is like five grand. I got it off eBay for about 1000 used and put a couple dollars into it. saves me days.

Shes beautiful. Nice setup man. Cool to see you have a similar setup with living soil and the ecowtt. I haven't seen too many people with them yet. I'm still getting a grasp on the ideal moisture range. I've watched pretty much all the build-a-soil stuff and has helped tremendously. nice cover crop too
frostypaws
frostypawscommenteda year ago
@MindFlowers68, Thanks, I appreciate it. I was thinking the same seeing your set up. Nice to see someone using living soil and the Ecowitt. I wish that Ecowitt had a 12 inch extender instead of reading the top 5 inches of the soil. But I do have a longer moisture meter just to test the bottom. I have watched a lot of Jeremy at build a soil and use a lot of their products. Happy growing Buddy!!!

Keep vegging her man, let her fill like 60% of the net before you flip to flower and keep tucking for the first week or so of stretch 💪🌱💚
