▸ Honey Cream ⋄ Mainlining

Seeds popped on January 24th 2019. Lets see how fast this strain really is.

They look really healthy. In week 2 there will be a big change. This week I will double the amount of watts to 100watts LED light and mid-week I change it to 250w HPS. After week 3 I will select the 3 healthiest ones for my grow tent.

First feeding week for my plants! They seem to like the light nutrient feeding and react very well to it. Next week they get transplanted to bigger pots - the roots are showing up at the bottom of the 0.5L pot.

Veg week number 4: I topped them for the first time in mid-week 3. I am gonna top them for another time in week 4 or 5. Gonna start flowering maybe in week 6 or 7.

I put them into new 3.5L pots so their root system can grow. In about 2 weeks they will be in their final pot of 18L for the rest of their life cycle. The plant reacts very well to topping and I cannot wait to initiate the 13.5 / 10.5 flowering light cycle.

Topped for the next time. Now they have to recover under the quantum board. I hope I can initiate flowering in about 2 weeks from now on. I re-pot them into 18L pots on Tuesday.

Week 7 recently started and now they get big. I am gonna fill my tent with 2 plants and I will add a Scrog net later to maximize the canopy. If there are any questions feel free to ask :)

Last vegetative week and at the start I thinned out the plants to give them a better light penetration for increasing the grow of the side branches. I bent everything down for a last time before initiate the flowering phase. This run, I will use a normal 12/12 light cycle + my far-red-emitter for fast bud growth. I hope the harvest is ready by week 7/8 of flowering.

First flowering week for my Honey Cream. From now on I hope the genetics keep what it's promising and will finish very fast. Gonna use my flower nutrients on the 3rd day of flowering for the first time when they start to show pre flowers. I thinned them out a last time and bent everything down to cover a larger canopy space in my tent.

The first flowers did come out and the plants grow now bigger and bigger. This week I start to use a Scrog net for spreading up the canopy.

The flowering stretch ended and it was not quite as much stretch as I expected. All in all, the budding process kicked totally in and I thinned out my 2 plants. I removed all big leaves for getting more light to the lower buds.

This week the buds did form very well. From now on the THC production normally should kick in. They are already a little frosty and the buds look good but defenitly need another 2 weeks till I can say what they will yield approximately. Stay tuned.

Gonna use PK booster for 2 weeks now. The buds are going to explode and the first hair already got brown. Thc production already kicked in and now they get more frosty every day.

Last nutrient week and I am already craving for those buds :) My plant looks amazing and my mainlining experiment was a success to me - I gained a lot of experience because of it. I am gonna harvest in about 2 weeks from now on.

Flushing week!! I am already craving for those buds. Now my plants only get pH corrected water to flush out all the salts and minerals which should not be part of my endproduct. Next week: HARVEST ;)

Growing Honey Cream was a bit difficult, because I decided to give my ladies a strong LST to let them grow like a bonzai tree. I really liked her structure when she was ready for harvest. The buds were little, but really compact and heavy. Letting them grow to the side helped me a lot to fill out my tent with my 2 plants. Overall I got 193grams dryed out of 2 plants in a 1x1meters tent with a 500w QuantumBoard. Would grow again, but with lesser training because it costed me a lot of time to trim, and train the single stems. ( grow-rating 8/10 ... taste-rating: 10/10 )
