McGrowin To combat the cold nights, I am running continuous light at 50%. Day 1 and her cotyledons are out and about. Will hit it with a spray or two of water on Day 2.

McGrowin I decided to transplant early and it did not go super well. I think I did not damage the root ball, but definitely saw some baby roots disconnected from the main tap root system.

McGrowin Fed w/ gaiai green 4-4-4 and big foot gold tea at Day 18. Put a whole gallon in the 7 gallon pot to recharge the recycled soil. Hoping soil doesn't get too hot at some point, but its slow release so should be okay. Day 21: Growth is solid. Added 4-5 oz of water with the stash blend in it. Defoliation of two fan leaves to expose undergrowth to more light.

McGrowin Day 42: counting over 40 exposed budsites after light LST and defoliation on the alchemist's apprentice, which is a genetic that foxtails apparently. Looking forward to the purple foxtails in late flower. Using The Stash Blend and Rechard every other 3rd day of watering. Heavy watering every 3 days and light waterings every other day seem to work well for keeping the 7 gallon recycled ocean forest soil moisture consistent.

McGrowin Day 62: watered with big foot gold and fixed low humidity issues by adding back in humidifier and lowering exhaust fan speed. 10 more days until checking daily for trichomes to ripen.

McGrowin Day 70: According to the breeder, 3 more days until harvest. However, trichomes and the start of the fade suggests another week is in order. Looking at harvesting on day 77 for the luck of it. Defoliation: Removed all the big fan leaves that were sitting in the shade. Day 75: Trichomes are still maturing

McGrowin Day 84: switched to 24 hours of light a few days ago. Seeing her finish strong, bulking up and bursting with trichomes. Her smell, too, is grape and gas. It is subtle and apparently comes out more in cure. Harvested top buds. Letting the bottom go - so much weed!

McGrowin Chopped the top buds a bit ago... letting the bottom half grow and holy fuck so much more bud to be harvested - like an ounce dry at least based on what I harvested so far.

Happy Harvest Day!

Growing this variety was simple and straightforward. In future grows, will lollipop in pre-flower stage. Also might try defoliating more to avoid larf and excessive trimming at harvest. Harvest Approach: the top half of plant was ready, so harvested that equaling 2.2 oz dry and after trim. bottom half sat in 4x4 under 18/6 light schedule and matured for 2 additional weeks. upon harvest, much larf was collected and bagged fresh for bubble, and the primary nugs equaled 1.5oz dry and after trim. Trimming Experience: It was not fun. Small sugar leaves throughout. Hand trimming took 4 hours for the first harvest and 1.5 hours for the second. The second harvest was much more selective. Trim weight: Frozen larf weight might be close to 2 oz total, including all sugar leaves and shake from both harvests. Looking forward to making some bubble some day when time permits. Terpenes Profile: Smells of grape soda mixed with chemicals Smoke: Light sugary grape with a chemical front and back end.

McGrowin Trim jail was real on this one. Put a pillow behind the back and that really made life easier. Next time will be lollipopping this variety to make the process easier all around.
