All measurements are recorded in ml/gal.
11/18 - Seed placed in moist Root Riot plug.
11/23 - Sprout above ground.
11/26 - Day 3, fed with 50% strength seedling wk according to GH DTW schedule. 185 ppm and pH set to 5.8.
11/30 - Day 7, fed tap water pH to 5.8. 2nd set of leaves is opening.
12/4 - Day 11, she has responded well to a early nutrient introduction. She was fed today at 75% strength according to early growth week of GH DTW schedule. 500 ppm and pH was set at 5.8. Also added silica into the regimen.
12/6 - Day 13, fed again with same regimen, next feed will be water. I dried the lower leaves off after feeding.
12/8 - Day 15, she is doing great! I shut off the extraction fan, since there wasnt enough heat and humidity in the tent (the house is 66F ), and her temps now stay put during lights on at 75-77F and RH between 57-62%.
12/12 - Day 19, fed her at 400 ppm and pH set to 5.8, mixed accoding to wk 3 of GH DTW schedule, with base nutes at 50% strength.
12/14 - Day 21, Look at her growth over the last few days!
12/15 - Day 22, gave water + Hydroguard, pH set to 5.8, and watered until runoff for first time.
12/19 - Day 26, fed at 800 ppm mixed according to late growth week of GH DTW schedule, with pH set to 5.8. Defoliated a few fans to give lower nodes more light.
12/25 - Day 32, playing Christmas Catch-up on all my diaries, She was fed today at 1050 ppm according to Transition week of GH DTW schedule with pH adjusted to 5.8. She is filling in and stretching nicely!
12/28 - Day 35, gave water + hydroguard and calmag.
12/30 - Day 37, she's continuing to stretch and heading towards bloom.
12/31 - Day 38, fed her transition nutes again. She has a really nice structure and shape.
1/2 - Day 40, defoliated her, she has a ton of bud sites, and a near perfect shape, my photography skills (or lack thereof) dont do her proper justice.
1/3 - Day 41, fed with early bloom nutes according to GH DTW schedule mixed to 960 ppm and pH adjusted to 5.8. Runoff numbers were 1190 ppm and pH was 6.0
1/6 - Day 44, gave water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8. Runoff numbers were 890 ppm and pH was 6.0. She is entering bloom, and loaded with bud sites.
1/9 - Day 47, fed her at 1010 ppm with mid bloom nutes according to GH DTW schedule, pH adjusted to 5.8. Runoff numbers were 1240 ppm and pH was 5.9.
1/12 - Day 50, fed her with mid bloom nutes according to GH DTW schedule. Runoff numbers were 1280 ppm and pH was 5.9.
1/13 - Day 51, did some light defoliation while doing some LST to open up her structure a little bit. She is loaded down in bud sites stacked up ready to go! Launch!
1/16 - Day 54, fed her with mid bloom nutes mixed to 1150 ppm and pH adjusted to 5.8. Her buds are popping up everywhere! Final runoff was 1320 ppm and pH was 6.0.
1/18 - Day 56, gave her water + Hydroguard, pH set to 5.8. I broke off a really nice side branch getting her out of the tent this morning, luckily she has many so she'll fare ok. Final runoff was 1150 ppm and pH was 6.
1/21 - Day 59, fed her mid bloom nutes, dropping Rapidstart, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff numbers were 1210 ppm and pH was 5.9. She is starting to really build now, pistils galore!!
1/24 - Day 62, fed her mid bloom again, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1260 ppm and pH was 6.
1/27 - Day 65, fed her late bloom nutes dropping Rapidstart, FloraGro, and Diamond Nectar, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1310 ppm and pH was 5.9. I also readjusted LST points, and defoliated for the last time. She is taking on a wonderful aroma of limes and earth.

2/10 - Day 79, fed her with ripen nutes, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1120 ppm and pH was 6. She is continuing to swell, and definitely living up to her namesake.
2/13 - Day 82, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. Her buds are rock hard, and she is almost ready to start her flush. Her smell is like limes and ginger. She has a dusting of trichomes that is starting to thicken with each week. Final runoff was 950 ppm and pH was 6.
2/16 - Day 85, fed her with ripen nutes, with pH set to 5.8. Did a final haircut on her during her feeding, with final runoff coming in at 880 ppm and pH of 6.

3/3 - Dy 100, gave her water with pH set to 5.8.
3/6 - Day 103, gave her water for the last time with pH set to 5.8. She is fading out and will be cut on 3/10, when her media dries out again. I clipped a few fans during watering, to improve air circulation. She is super frosty and sticky, and smells like limes and hash.
3/10 - Day 107, chopped her today. Did a wet trim and she is hanging and drying. Smoke and harvest report will be up in 10-14 days.
This girl grew in the perfect shape, and I think if I had topped her too and kept her a little flatter, the density issue would have been resolved. She took everything I threw at her, and kept right on chugging. An absolute stunner!
