timbarin 17th of March update.
Both look really good, the plan was to thin the herd but they are lovely. Decided to keep both in smaller pots. 8l instead of 11l.
Added food and scrog net.
timbarin another amazing week is behind us. the plants were moved into the big tent and will be kept in vegetation state for 2 more weeks.
once completed it will be flowering time.
one of the plant suffered from a broken stem during the mainlining and probably will be somewhat smaller than her sister -- nothing to worry about, we got two of them :-)
the tent was used for the previous grow, it got cleaned up and the lights were lowered and set to 200W. as the plant progresses through the life cycle the lights will be increased gradually to 300W
i have defoliated the plant and added the net on top to stop the vertical growth.

timbarin The end of the first week in the big tent is over. Both plants are growing nicely and had several days to recuperate from the move and defoliation. Around Wednesday I have noticed strong sprout. One more week before I flower them.
timbarin She is very tall and I tied her up to the tent using wires. Both look same size even though they started with several days difference.
They are getting closer to the sun

timbarin 3rd week of flowering is done and she stoped growing. Buds are forming and some tricomes as well.
Same feeding plan as before.
I added some ties and cables to keep the plant steady. It's hard to clean her up so I think there will be bunch of larf
It's hard to deferentiate the Jr vs the Sr both looks big and amazing

timbarin Esteemed friends, family, and random readers -- just joking no one reads this -- you are just here for the pictures ;-)
I didn't see a point in posting the last flowering week since she had only gotten fatter and was on a diet consistent with water.
She is drying up for 10 days in a controlled environment with 65%RH and 24C. I'm looking for 2 weeks drying period followed by 3-4 weeks of curing.
Stay tuned for the smoke report and final weight.
Lastly thanks to @james for sending these for a review.

Grow Review
Germination was a breeze. germinated after 2 days and I tried 2 seeds.
The plant was in a vegetative state for 7 weeks followed by a flowering period of 10 weeks.
Between weeks 4-6, both took LST, HST, and topping. around that time I moved them into the bigger tent and set the lights on 200 Watts for the rest of the grow.
At week 6 of flowering both started to show orange colors and started to get fat for the rest of the cycle.
The results are tight and resinous buds that leave sticky grinders and dirty fingers. :-)
Drying and curing
The plant was dried for 14 days with 70RH/25C due to the hot weather. I had a fan indirect to assist. After that, the buds were sealed and burped for 5 weeks.
Smoking
The strain is 40/60 Sativa and the balance is there. I can do anything I set my mind to achieve, for example.
1. watched a movie with my GF and chatted about the movie -- (great for chilling and kept me social).
2. cleaned my closet and organized drawers.
3. cleaning the kitchen after dinner and some joints.
4. I went to the gym and trained but that was not the smartest idea of the day.
When does the 40% kick in? simple :-) once the rush goes away. Remember I wrote that this strain is quite a balanced one?
Here we go.... after roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour, the couch lock and euphoric feelings kick in.
Nothing too crazy in that experience, chill and roll another one. or boot up another game on the console.
Big shoutout to @James for sending these beans for review. much appreciated.
The review is completely mine and non-influenced.
Each grow I learn more and more about this amazing plant. Thanks for reaching the end of the diary with me and I hope you enjoyed the content.
