Day 36-42
Grow went really smooth until day 37.
Was away for three days and came back to a branch that snapped itself, caused by her vigorous growth during the stretch.
Extremely frustrating to see, especially because it happened to me before and I was super careful with the ties. Only tied down at thick spots which probably saved the remainings. A small fraction of the branch was able to support everything on top, even though it grew significantly slower.
I cut out the dried surface where the branch once connected and tied them together. I figured proper healing would still be better than leaving her like she was.
The Fan leaves came in big in these three days and completely covered the new branches. To allow light penetration to both the new branches and the snapped one, I did a heavy defoliation to hopefully stun her growth until she has recovered.
Sad to miss out on some of her size, but leads to more experience and a little challenge.
Learn from my mistakes and never leave your plant alone during stretch...
Harvested on Day 90 after 8 weeks of flowering.
Veg was pretty normal but her stretch was absolutely enormous. She quadrupelt in size and even snapped a tied down branch by herself.
Throughout the bloom she was obviously having some issue, with significant damage from the top fan leaves downwards. I didn't think it was any deficiency because of that, so I guessed it to either be a pH or heat/light intensity problem. Even though I flushed her and tried everything I seemingly could do, she didn't recover and never was able to stack size.
On day 90, through pure luck my brother spotted unbelievable quantities of aphids under some damaged leaves. Looking back, we found that every damaged or dead leave was covered with aphid bites. Didn't even think of that because she was standing inside...
So in conclusion, we decided to chop her on day 90.
The smell was really nice and pleasant, even though I wouldn't describe it as anything like "Honey Cream". Really sweet and almost slightly fruity.
She grew vigourous and promised huge colas if it wasn't for the aphids. Extremely sad and another Grow down the learning drain.
