1/19 - Seed was soaked in 120 ppm Clonex solution for 4 hours, then placed into moistened Root Riot plug.
1/23 - Waiting on her to come up, she's at surface level, waiting to shed her seed cap.
1/25 - Day 1 of veg, keeping her moist using Canna Start at 10ml/gal via syringe.
1/29 - Day 5 of veg. transplanted to 3 gal fabric containers today and watered in with solution mixed to 320 ppm, and pH set to 5.9. Her second leaf set is starting and she looks great.
2/1 - Day 8 of veg, gave her some water + Hydroguard today with pH set to 5.8.
2/3 - Day 10 of veg, fed her at 480 ppm and pH set to 5.8. This is my first run with these nutes so there will be adjustments made to try and find the sweet spot, but I feel confident it will be easier than with the 3 part from GH.
2/5 - Day 12 of veg, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH adjusted to 5.8. She is doing great and is starting to work on her 3rd node already.
2/8 - Day 15 of veg, fed her veg nutes, bumping Terra Vega to 7.5 ml/gal, and Calimagic to 2.5 ml/gal, with pH set to 5.8. She is now developing her 4th node.
2/9 - Day 16 of veg, gave water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8.
2/11 - Day 18, fed her veg nutes again, pH set to 5.8.
2/14 - Day 21, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. I topped her at the 3rd node, and removed her 1st node leaving the 2nd and 3rd nodes to prepare her for training.
2/16 - Day 23, fed her with veg nutes until runoff for first time, bumping Terra Vega up to 11ml/gal which is full strength on the light feeding chart from Canna. Calimagic was bumped to 3ml/gal. As always, pH was set to 5.8. She is responding to and has recovered from the topping. LST will begin next week.
2/22 - Day 29, performed LST on her today to open up her center and allow the lower bud sites to catch up. LST was shaped into a "+" to reduce twisting of the branches. I used a precision screwdriver to poke small holes in the grow bags near the top to attach coated wire, which was bent as needed to bring the arms down, and open her structure.
2/23 - Day 30, fed her veg nutes again, dropping TerraVega to 8ml/gal. She has responded very well to the LST and is growing quickly. Her lower nodes on the side branches are getting more light and catching up quickly, to help give a nice even canopy in the tent with the other girls.
2/26 - Day 33, performed some defoliation and adjusted LST points as needed. I'm trying to keep them as flat as possible now, because they are gonna go batshit at the flip to 12/12 under HPS. She has barely noticed the LST and defoliation so far, and is continuing to grow vigorously.
2/28 - Day 35, gave her water + Hydroguard, CaliMagic at 2ml/gal ea, with pH adjusted to 5.8. Final runoff was 894 ppm and pH was 6.
3/6 - Day 41, fed her today. They are looking a little limey colored so I will bump the nutes up to 14ml/gal of Terra Vega at the next feeding. I defoliated some fans and adjusted LST points as needed during feeding. Final runoff was 950 ppm and pH was 6.1.
3/11 - Day 46, fed her veg nutes again, Terra Vega at 14ml/gal and increased Armor Si to 2ml/gal, and added RapidStart at 1ml/gal, with pH set to 5.8. I defoliated her pretty heavy during feeding. Final runoff was 1032 ppm and pH was 6.
3/12 - Day 47, topped her 4 mains to focus growth on established nodes. She will be flipped to flower soon and this will be the last topping before the switch. The plan is to allow for a bit of recovery time, and once she's back up to speed, I'll give her the flip to 12/12.
3/17 - Day 52, gave water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8, and defoliated a few fans during watering. Final runoff was 846 ppm and pH was 6.
3/20 - Day 55, gave her the flip to 12/12 today and moved her into the HPS tent with her sisters for flower.
3/26 - Day 61, 7 days post flip, and she is stretching and filling in beautifully. This girl loves to side branch! She was fed again and defoliated. Final runoff was 1036 ppm and pH was 6.
3/29 - Day 64, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.8, final runoff was 742 ppm and pH was 5.9
4/2 - Day 68/Day 1 of flower, fed her with bloom nutes for first time today with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1170 ppm and pH was 5.8. Her first baby buds are starting to appear and stretch is tapering off.
4/5 - Day 71/4F, Fed her again with bloom nutes, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 1240 ppm and pH was 5.9.
4/9 - Day 75/8F, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 920 ppm and pH was 5.9. I gave her a haircut today, trimming away the bud sites that would never produce much. She is stacked up heavy with bud sites and I'm hoping the yield will follow. She is also already getting a early coating of trichomes. Things are looking promising with this lady.
4/12 - Day 78/11F, fed her today and added a lilttle bit of PK 13/14 to the mix at 3ml/gal. She is loaded for bear, I mean stacked! She's got a early dusting of snow, and her smell is starting to come out, she's a skunky little stinker!
4/15 - Day 81/14F, gave her water + Hydroguard with pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 730 ppm and pH was 5.9. She has trichomes on the fans already too, and pistils everywhere!
4/17 - Day 83/16F, fed her today, dropping Terra Flores to 18ml/gal and PK 13/14 to 2.5ml/gal, as she is is plenty green and I don't want to burn her. Final runoff was 1060 ppm and pH was 5.9. She is getting frostier by the day, and her skunky aroma is getting stronger too.
4/21 - Day 87/20F, gave her water + Calimagic and Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 934 ppm and pH was 5.9.
4/24 - Day 90/23F, fed her, and bumped PK 13/14 to 5 ml/gal, and Terpinator to 10 ml/gal with pH adjusted to 5.9. She is bulking up a little now, and continues to throw pistils and frost. Final runoff was 1224 ppm and pH was 5.9.
4/26 - Day 92/25F, gave her water + Hydroguard, with pH set to 5.8. She is stacked to the gills with budsites, and her buds are crusted in trichomes. She has a funky, skunky, almost cheesy funk to her. Final runoff was 1082 ppm and pH was 5.9.
4/29 - Day 95/28F, gave her water + Hydroguard, Calimagic with pH set to 5.8. Final runoff was 827 ppm and pH was 5.9.
5/2 - Day 98/31F, fed her with bloom nutes, pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 1042 ppm and pH was 5.9. She is still frosting up and slowly bulking. She absolutely reeks!
5/3 - Day 99/32F, fed her yesterday but forgot to grab some pics. So here they are without further ado. The frost is really building, and she is overpowering everything else in the tent with her skunky funk.
5/5 - Day 101/34F, gave her water + Hydroguard, Calimagic with pH set to 5.9. She is covered in glittery trichomes.
5/8 - Day 104/37F, fed her dropping PK 13/14 this week. She will be starting flush soon.
5/11 - Day 107/40F, began flush today with water, pH set to 5.9. Final runoff was 763 ppm and pH was 5.9. She should finish out here within the next 2 weeks, so I'm gonna try Flawless Finish for the 1st time and see how that goes. Sorry for the yellow tinge, had to take these photos in the tent. The smell is somewhere between skunk and dead possum. This girl reeks!!! She should be called Roadkill Kush lol.
5/14 - Day 110/43F, gave her 1.5 gallons of water + Flawless Finish at 8 ml/gal with pH set to 6. Final runoff was 624 ppm and pH was 5.9.
5/16 - Day 112/45F gave her 2 gallons of water today no additives, final runoff was 416 ppm and pH was 6.
5/19 - Day 115/48F, flushed her with 10 gallons of water achieving runoff of 150 ppm. Her media is now flushed and I will let her fade out before harvest in the next week or so. She is stinky, sticky and pretty much ready to go.
5/21 - Day 117/50F, flushed her with another 10 gallons of water to a final runoff of 103 ppm and pH was 6. She will be getting the axe in a few days, likely on the 27th or 28th.
She grows like a dream! Takes well to topping and LST, with nice sturdy stems and she just stacks, and stacks. Open her up a little and get ready for bats. She starts frosting early in flower, and never slows down. This particular pheno was particularly stinky, and I dig it.
