1st week..Germinated both seeds using the paper towel method and they only took about 2 days to germ. Immediatly planted them in their "forever home" pots, which are 5 gallon.
Used a mix of Fox Farms and anthoer local brand of organic soil. Both seeds sprouted to the surface wthin a day.
Using 400W HPS /MH lights for the grown, and right now they are under the MH lights. 18 hours light schedule.
The temp is right around 85, getting down to 75 at night, and the humidity is steady around 55.
Looking forward to this grow...
Things are going really well. Keeping them on a strict time schedule, and watering as needed. I didn't start to give then nutrients until about the third week, and then I only gave them half of the recommended dosage. The outside temp allows the inside to stay at 84/85 in the daytime, and 70-74 at night. They are starting to smell, there's nothing better than that first faint smell it starts to get...
Update...I added more pictures to show how much they started to grow by the end of week 4, They already have a strong smell, and the stem is getting really thick. Since the outside temp has decreased over the last couple weeks the temp inside the tent is around 82 degrees with the lights on and 70 degrees with it off. I gave them nutes this week, and again was half the recommended dosage.
We have flowering!!
Super excited to see both plants start flowering,,,Both plants have been doing really well. No issues with watering, ph, temp, etc..these guys have been doing great. The smell continues to get stronger and they are growing really well, I am super impressed with the seeds, I look forward to seeing what they do each week .
Update at the end of week #5
Flowering has begun so I have changed the light. Both plants continue to do well, and require little maintenance. The outside temp has remained low so the temp inside the tent has been great.
They both have taken off in flowering :) Super happy with the way thing are going. No temp or nute issues and I of course check for disease and pest and havent found anything. I am continuing to give them nutes but again only half the recommended dosage. 👌
These guys continue to amaze me. They continue to grow and have developed a powerful smell The buds continue to sprout and grow, and as you can see by the pictures one has started to get orange hairs. No issues with bugs, mold, over-watering, etc...I realize now, my first grow in the summer was doomed from the start, this is so much easier when heat isn't an issue.
I continue to give it half the recommended nute dosage and I'm only doing it once a week. I water about every 2 days and notice they definitely like the water more when they are flowering. I plan on starting to flush them in a about a week. I see others growers take theirs up to 11 week abut I have feeling the first plant will be done around day 60 and the other one about a week after that
I hope everyone is having a successful grow, and thanks for taking the time to look at mine and check out my journal
Ok guys here’s my question...my grow is winding down and will be ready to harvest this weekend (it’s looking that way), what is the BEST process for curing? How long do they need to cure? When will you know there done, etc...this is the only part I’m unsure about
Hey there @BlckbrGrls once you have finished dying, the best curing method in my opinion is buying "Boveda 62%" packs (linked at the end) and placing them in jars with your bud. These guys do ALL the work for you keeping the humidity at exactly 62% for the entire curing process its really that simple. Which btw to answer your question lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months depending on your preference. The longer they cure the more they smell and better they taste! (

Happy curing 😎
Once completely dry, place in jars. Place jars away from heat and light. Over course of 2-4 weeks jars are "burped" or opened and let out gasses to allow fresh air inside. Little pockets of the expelled gas sometimes stuck inside of buds, under curled leaves, etc that's why movement helps. Tip: the More jars the better. You can consolidate after cured. During curing I fill no more than 50% of volume of jars.

Hello ! 15 days is the minimum for a curing and you can keep your weed as long as you want : I will smoke some february and june buds on new year eve The key is to open your jar daily during 15 min each day during at least a month ( some says 15 days , I prefer a month) then after that month open the jar every weeks or 2 weeks during 5 to 15 min. And do the best manicure as possble , I noticed that my well manicured buds last longer than my buds with some leaves on. If you can add a Boveda humidity pack 58% or 62% in the jab then it's better to keep a constant humidity level. I hope it will help you 😁👍
There are almost ready to harvest...I have to say the smell is super strong, so much so it hits you in the face as soon as you walk o sat the door :) I’ve started to flush them last week and stopped the nutes. They continue to grow and love that light. NO issues with pests or temp and I’ve been super impressed with how easy this was to grow.
Harvesting soon!
They both have been flushed and are almost ready to harvest. I’ve checked them both with the magnifying loop and I’m seeing milky trichomomes, and some amber. My next post will be of the harvest. Thanks for following ✌️🏽
I will definitely be growing this strain again. It was super strong right from the beginning. I kept them on a 18 hour light schedule and made sure the temp in the grow tent was always where it needed to be. I made sure I had all the right rooms, from a water ph tester to a soil ph tester. I used Nutes, but only half of the recommend dosage and I had tested them before on some of my backyard plants (tomatoes, lettuce, peppers)z These guys started to really smell towards the end and just continued to grow.
So excited to see how they cure. I cheated and tested one bud that I cut, dried and cured and it was amazing, I’ll be making some butter tonight, and will post the outcome and whatever I make.
Thanks for checking out my diary ✌️🏽00
