As you can see, she went through some crazy changes this week.
I panicked at first due to the yellowing leaves spreading at a fast rate. After realising that the yellowing leaves were only effecting the main fan leaves and secondary fan leaves, and after doing much research, I concluded that I simply did not feed her enough nutes during the grow, and that the yellowing was a sign of early flushing of Nitrogen. The plant is flushing itself a little earlier than I'd like due to the lack of enough feeding early on, but I guess that just means a smoother smoke! The top leaves are also purpling (which I think is cool).
Other than that, the buds are swelling up! She doesn't give off a strong smell, but there's definitely a smell - however, when you touch the buds and smell your fingers - WOW! SO strong! Smells SO TASTY! A mix of citrus / grapefruit and other scents I can't pin-point. Gave her a feed of Top-max and Bloom today and will give her pure water from here on after. Feel like she has one or two weeks left.
@Green_Friends_Inc, I see a lot of people on here stress-training or defoliating their plant quite a lot - while it can produce better structure in the plant I think the main reason that my grow is so fast is because I avoided all of that. The plant needs time to recover when LST'ing or defoliating. She may have even been faster had it not been for the injuries she took in week 5!
Wow dude, the way the colors changed is crazy! She looks like she got a bit fatter too! Still looks like she can go a week or two to swell up as much as she can
Your buds look amazing my friend and I believe congratulations are in order. You put in the work and time over the last few months and it has given you some beautiful results. I wish you all the best in your next grow and I'm so happy for you that this grow has turned out as beautiful as it has. Cheers my friend and happy smoking!
@SensiSmellYahLater, Thanks so much!! Definitely learned a lot with this grow! Just made it even more AMAZING and gave me more PROOF how natural and beautiful this medicine is! Cheers!
Wow dude... i can see so much growth in the side nodes!! Ive been following your grow diary for a while now and I have to say, im pretty impressed. Is her smell still weak? Im thinkin of popping a FastBuds GSC soon, for 9 weeks from seed, thats pretty impressive.
Hey there man! Your baby looks beautiful!
And it seems we both went thru some similar mistakes by underfeeding the plants! (and we're both rising the same strain and using Biobizz!). In my case I used half dose of the recommended amount and "had" to buy AN Revive which helped the plant greatly! (Try to get one! It helps to fix mistakes 😖)
Also, your babies fattened quite fast! Love how they look!
Will keep an eye in your journal!
Take care!
@Black_Magic, Just started yesterday, using pure water. She started flushing herself early a few weeks ago as I had been feeding her half the recommended amount of nutrients throughout the grow until the last 2 weeks (which was a mistake, I should have fed her the full amount). But yeah, finishing off since yesterday with pure water
