This journal is started a bit late for the flowering life of this plant but better late than never!
After 1 month of vegging and very mild LST ( low stress training ) I cut 32 clones from her all of which rooted perfectly and not one casualty. this left her almost bare and needing to re veg to create a new nodes for bud production.
I had her to the point she almost looked like a stick, I neglected her, I wanted her to show me how her deficiencies appear and how quickly she could be brought back to health, I got nearly all her leaves to the point of death from the lack of nutrients and high PH levels.
This process was all done within 2 weeks to really see how quickly she could bounce back . I transplanted her from her 5 gallon into her new 10 gallon home with new soil giving her an additional 4 inches in every direction to grow new roots, though her leaves were sick, her roots were still pearly white and showed no sign of sickness. after the transplant I gave her real first feed which included a large flush with 6.4 PH water before giving the nutrients at 6.6 PH. Overnight I already saw the dramatic changes, all growth had almost stopped previously, but the next day and with nutrients she grew almost and inch and new vegetation was very obvious. A few days later after her soil was dry she had grown about 2 inches and was due for another feeding. This time it was 2 gallons of water using about 15 ml of each nutrient except the "armor si" which was given at 4 ml Ph'd to 6.4. Her growth sky rocketed, so much so I had to super crop her to keep her height down. at this point were about 2 months into veg and shes sitting at 32 inches tall ( not including the pot ) about 2 and a half feet wide and shes looking ready for flower with all her luscious green leaves. Come December 4th 2018 I flip her into flower. Silly me forgot to program the timer so she was actually sitting in flower for 36 hours rather than the initial 24 I planned to give her to help her flowering hormones quick start. No harm done, all new growth was very yellow from the lack of light needed to produce chlorophyll, but luckily withing 6 hours of the lights being on the yellowing was almost non existent.
now were in week 4 I pollinated 2 branches to get a cluster of seeds and left the rest of her to create resinous bud! as you can see shes stacking beautifully!
Happy new year my friend! Your grow is looking fantastic and healthy and I wish you best in this next year growing some amazing plants and yielding yourself large amounts of bud. Cheers!
@MG2009, I used sucker punch pollen from a strong male which was shared with me through a friend, I turned off all ventilation for still air, took the pollen and put it in a bag, put the bag over a branch (i did 2 branches) and i tie it down with a pipe cleaner then ziptie on top of the pipe cleaner, then i tape the bottom with cotton so the cotton catches any pollen that may escape ( i keep it moist too ) when i take off the bag I have a spray bottle handy and i pre spray surrounding leaves lightly. and viola after a day or 2 when i see recessed hairs I know it went well :)
@MG2009, i've never used the rhino skin and im not the biggest fan of advanced. But that may be because its my first time running them. I had the armor si from prior grows and it just works so i stick with it.
