Gave my plant its first food this week, small dose of calmag pro, sugar royal and power roots from plagron. It seemed to like it, nearly doubled in size over the week. I will hopefully train and top again next week if its still happy and healthy.

LST’d at the beginning of the week. Completely flattened my plant out. Little bits of defoliation here and there when required. Really happy with how its looks this week. Prob give it 10-14 more days of growth then switch it to flower. Still no need for any base nutrients, enough in the pre fertilised soil for another week or 2.

I think she is looking good, a nice flat canopy with lots of tops on show. Gave her the first dose of base nutrients this week. Seemed to take it ok. Some more LST and a little defoliation and leaf tucking during the week. Prob going to give her 1 more week of veg to grow out a bit then flip to flower.

Not much action this week, just feed watered and let her do her thing. Into flower from next week, prob a quick defoliation to allow the light to reach through the canopy and sit back and enjoy the show.

Decided to start flower this week, she has filled the space nicely. The odd pistol here and there on show by the end of the week. Gave a defoliation during the week as well although shes nearly needing another by the end of the week, but i’ll wait until the stretch has finished before I give her the final defoliation then let her alone for flowering. Also started to give Plagron power buds this week, I like this additive, have had success with it in the past.

Week 2 of flower over and all is fine for now, cant see any issues. This is a very bushy strain. She will definitely need another defoliation before she goes any further into flower. Prob get that done during this next week once some more sugar leaves have grown out a bit, other than that I am very happy with her.

Hi, decided she needed a serious defoliation before she went any further into flower because the whole bottom half of her was in darkness and as can be seen in the photos I cut her nearly to the bone. She took it well, infact by the end of the week almost filled back out again lol. First sprinkles of frosting appeared this week also and with it came the first scents of citrus and it is beautiful. Quietly excited by this girl.

About 1/3 of the way through flowering and shes looking healthy still, very happy with how shes progressing. The final compliment (green sensation) to the feeding schedule will be added in the next feed. She seems to be enjoying plagrons range. Lets hope those buds get nice and chunky.

Coming into her final weeks now and her fragrance just keeps getting better and better, soooo citrusy. Im starting to see some shades of purple coming through on the sugar leaves so I think im in for a colourfull finish. These final weeks should be a pleasure.

Really happy with this plant, smooth sailing from the beginning and close to the end now with no issues and the smell is to die for. The buds are starting to put on a bit of weight now, swaying on the brances when I move the plant, prob 2-3 weeks left.

Shes coming quite close to the finish line now, her scent just keeps getting better as she matures, its like walking through a citrus tree and weed orchard everytime the tent is opened. Finding it really hard not to disturb her lol. Hopefully 7-10 days left as I need to free the space for my Eternity cup grow effort which is currently zip tied to a corner pole in a smaller pot. Little bit of an experiment going on with that, I have upperd lemon mandarin to 14 hours of light so I can start another photoperiod in the same tent but prevent it from flowering on a 12-12 schedule. Interesting to see if there are any positive or negative outcomes.
