Dinafem Original Amnesia 400w HPS

cpt420 Stretched a bit for the first 2 weeks cause I only had a 400w hps setup for my entire grow, no cfl's or hid lights involved. Smallest plant on the right grew upside down, so I turned it right way back but as you can see, it's a bit behind in growth and length. 2.5ml/10l of nutrients added to ph balanced water.

cpt420 Starting to like the hps. Plant that was upside down grew 2 weird big leaves, almost like a strawberry plant, then topped itself from the very beginning from the stem, almost like a 3 way split. Never seen it before, but can't wait to see what happens. 5ml/10l nutrients:water

cpt420 Put them into bigger pots. They stretched a bit in the beginning and night time temperatures have dropped as I have started growing in the winter. Overall, they seem healthy and respond well to the nutrients and the 50/50 promix they're planted in. 7.5ml/10l nutrients:water

cpt420 I skipped a week as I was away from my plants, had to plant 2 of them into bigger pots when I got back. Growing so fast right now, only the one plant that's a bit behind in growing. Might be the night time temperatures or maybe not enough nitrogen. Not too sure. Leaving them on the same nutrient schedule until I flip the lights.

cpt420 My girls are looking healthy, the plant with the weird leaves that grew upside down is looking healthier than ever and growing in a bushy shape.

cpt420 Last week of flowering then switching to 12/12 light cycle. Put the other plant into a bigger pot. Roots looking healthy and plants are still loving the nutrients.

cpt420 Starting to show first signs of flowering. Can't wait to see what the buds will look like.

cpt420 Healthy looking mini buds and starting to smell the flavours. Growing super fast at the moment.

cpt420 They're looking good and healthy and the Smell is intensifying. The one plant is stretching a bit too much for my liking but we will see what happens. Buds are looking hairy and frost is starting to form.

cpt420 So each plant seems to flower at a different rate even though I kept the light schedule the same. So surprised at how the upside down plant turned out. Super bushy and the buds are starting to turn so frosty. The smell is starting to become stronger everyday. Temperature outside is getting warmer as summer is approaching.

cpt420 Another week gone by, buds are fattening up so quickly and the plants are still growing fast everyday. Luckily I don't have a problem with vertical growth. Can't wait to see and smell them closer to harvest.

cpt420 Not too long before harvest. Plants and buds looking and smelling healthy.

cpt420 Checked the trichomes today and was excited to see they are looking good and clear. Smell is getting stronger everyday.

cpt420 Finally got some pictures before the light came on and man do they look good. It was taken with two different cameras, so some of the pics might look a bit greener than the other.

cpt420 So as you can see, they are sparkling :) the fan leaves at the bottom are starting to turn yellow and working their way up. Started the flushing process on two of them as the one is about two weeks behind flowering. Very grateful that I haven't had any problems with mould or pests, touch wood. About two weeks left before harvest time. Still need to buy a proper pruning shear. Any suggestions as there are so many out there?

cpt420 Okay finally got some time to load some pics. They are smelling sooo good, has a very citrus/lemon aroma and most of the trichomes are starting to turn milky. Still flushing them, reckon I have another week or two to go, will keep a close eye on them.

cpt420 The time has finally arrived :))) Milky trichomes ready for harvest and judging by the intense smell and yellowing leaves falling off, I made the decision to cut. So I started the harvest about 5 days ago and finished the last plant today. I had to do one plant at a time as I was limited with spare time and jeez did I find out how much of my time trimming can take up! Super happy with my harvest and the quality of the bud, although it appears each of the plants have different qualities even though it's the same strain. Will be keeping an eye on them while they are drying, have a feeling it might take more than a week as I stay a stone's throw away from the beach.

cpt420 So happy with my first successful grow and harvest. Loved growing this strain and would recommend it to any newbie or old hand that's growing. Buds has so much resin on them and they are super stinky and sticky.
