Very slow growth for the first week like usual. Transplanted into a 5 gallon fabric pot. Added Mykos to the transplant roots. Watered in with a very light nutrient solution at .02 EC

Tied down the plant to expose the branches. Start of LST. Growing good and looking like it’s going to have an explosion of growth soon.

Cut a few fan leafs this week that were blocking nodes. Tucked a few fan leaves under nodes to expose to more light. Growth has taken off this week. I expect flowing to happen soon.

First week of flower forming and this plant is stretching like crazy. Really growing fast. Every day is quite a feat of growth.

Plant is stretching like crazy. The second phenotype is clearly a more Sativa dominate. Bud development is lacking so far.

Plants are pretty much at the end of the stretch. They have grown quite a bit during the last two weeks. Bud stacking is nice. Almost no trichome production so far. The buds are smelling very musty. Increased the amount of water used to feed and the frequency. They are now needing every other day. I expect this to continue for quite a while. I like the fabric pots so far, AC makes a great set that are very sturdy. No issues picking up a fully saturated 5 gallons and moving it to a new tray.

Flushed this week with straight water. Bud is smelling like sulfer and orange. Bud structure was good but they don’t seem very dense. Nice color shift the last two weeks of growth. Chopping down and hanging for a two week dry.
