The leaves of this plant have an odor, but they smell good. Kind of tropical/mango/earthy.

Fertilized on 1/20/2019 and 1/23/2019.

The plant is looking beautiful. There are many bud sights, and it's getting bushy. Adjusted LST. Defoliated 2-3 fan leaves from the Somango XXL. Only took ones that were blocking large bud sights. Planning on starting flowering next week.

They're looking healthy and bushy, so I figured I might as well start their flowering. On February 2nd I fed them with their flowering week 1 schedule (1/3rd gallon per plant) and turned lights off for 24 hours. I'll take more photos tomorrow once I turn the flowering lights on for 12/12.

Plant seems shorter than the other two, but is looking healthy.

Plant looks healthy. Long shoots for its bud sights.

On 3/2/2019 I turned the vent van on 24/7 instead of the 30 minutes on/off schedule. Dropped the "Grow Big" nutrients to 1tsp/gal per the Fox Farm recommended schedule. The leaves near the bud sights are starting to display THC crystals.

They're starting to bounce back from their defoliation. Bud growth is still small, but it is getting more plentiful down the stalks. Woah! As the week has went on, these have gotten super crystalized. My other 2 plants are not nearly as sticky delicious looking.

They look kinda small for this late in flowering. Hopefully I'm not doing something wrong; I've just gotta consider they look healthy. They have a lot of crystals, and smell great. This variety in particular has a ton of crystals over the leaves. The one colas is taller than the rest, and is covered in crystals and bud sights. It's the best looking cola on any of my plants.

These are getting incredibly frosty. I've started giving them molasses.

These are looking good. The buds seem very airy, but they are sticky and smell good (kinda like cantaloupe).

Plant is the frostiest one I have. The trichomes are still clear/cloudy. The bud sights seem airy/fluffy. I'm trying to fight off some kind of nutrient discoloration (I believe it's phosphorus). I flushed the plants on 4/8/2019 by running water at a pH of 7.2 (tap water) through the plants, letting them drain, repeat. Afterwards I gave them normal strength nutrients at a pH of 6.8. The runoff was 6.5. In 3 days I'll go back to my normal schedule of feedings.

4/15/2019 - Trichomes are still foggy, but there has been some large bud growth recently (post flushing). This seems, based on trichomes, to be the most underdeveloped. I hope it catches up in the next week or so.

Pretty excited for this harvest. It yielded the second most out of the 3 plants I was growing. It smells good: cantaloupe, melon, grassy. Lots of crystalized sugar leaves which I left on after trying just the leaves and going to a magical rainbow land.
