Sativa Dominant's only

The big one i actually transplanted from outdoor to indoor late in the season because i didn't want to have it stunt from the cold early in flower. The other 3 are about half the age and i topped and cropped them early which i only did because my light is at max height and i knew if i didn't that they would get the buds bleach burned and sure i was right if you see the big one is just perfect height enough to flower out and i am so proud of myself because my outdoor plant last season i did not top till 2 weeks before flower and it was 6 feet tall and alot wider and took up much more space. I learned the Kushman training technique is well worth it with shorter topped plants and the nute uptake is alot faster along with the B1 which helps the carbohydrates to move through the roots and the plant better during flower and late veg. I use only the bottle recommended amount of nutes and jiffy pots dunked in b1 for the seedlings and i will tell you it has made alot of different for me compared to just putting it in soil and i recommend not foliar spraying with the b1 at all and use it throughout the plants grow as a root enhancer and overall plant stabilizer. I should have had more nutes but my experiment's right now are cost affective and i used all organic compost in the soil that i made myself with my own cured chicken manure that was dried and not hot befor hand and then as the plants got bigger i made mounds around the top of the soil during middle to late veg, i used Coast of Maine organic and natural soil as well in the mix to improve drainage, Next time i will buy cal-mag to try for higher metabolic's. I have topped the soil with used coffee grounds and cinnamon spice as well in veg and the cinnamon spice sugars during flower. Diatomaceous has been treated outdoors on my land and sealed indoor in the growroom and has circulated prior through cross breeze air draft in the summer and fall when the plants were seedlings. I have been using radio waves occasionally and music fora plant companion and expect to increase yields dramatically doing so as i have heard and also read educative scientific reports of this increasing yields and plant genetics at certain frequencies, volumes and musical notes.

Started max recommended dose of tiger bloom and continuance of b1 included every other watering after 3 weeks of recommended dosage of Tiger bloom. I dropped the temp down to 55 at night to get morph colors out before harvest and terps. 100 % organics with earthworms and microorganisms have been in a pretreated soil batch i turn over prior to fall and summer and compost through out the year with plant materials and organic waste the company of my chickens who use and feed on it occasionally in warmer temps till late fall. I use 2 compost piles so i can separate and break the mulch down easier and keep the chickens from dropping hot manure in the middle, it makes it so much easier that way so my plants never get burned early in veg that way and stunted from the sun in the process when i grow outdoor and or use the last super soil mix for the winter indoor grow as i am now doing. I leave my windows open in the grow room in the morning and night for 15 minutes for a cross breeze and for the ponderosa pines along my house to interact with the terpenes in the cola's to increase flavonoids and to exchange and increase c02 levels in the air i also have had a ceiling fan running on high above the whole time and i have noticed that the woods in the grow room walls and ceilings encourage the proper humidity absorption and warmth levels to keep the plant healthier and promote a natural environment which has seemed to have had an impact on the plants health and seems cleaner too and less dirty than dry wall or concrete slab. My soil was reused and flushed from last years outdoor grown and the ph was already Naturally perfect so i have tested it yet but i intend on doing so next year just for purposes of overall plant health data, i need to buy a PH tester for that matter.

Final Defoliation i did a couple days ago. Last Low stress training just to get them to droop a little to get the parabolics going in the plants nutrient uptake before the last spurt of bud weight in the last 2 or 3 weeks of flower. Watering has needed increase only since the last watering, i assume i will flower for many more week's and i will see how it looks as the plant ends it's life cycle as it is detrimental to not have stress during a sativa or sativa dominant's fragile flowering stage i do believe this is important for me to stop stunted flowering cycles. I will provide better close up photo's starting week seven with updated information on the development of the bud formations and Trichome development as it is doing well now and has about 50% white Trichome's and about 50% crystal clear so i will make sure to evaluate this closely to stop and or eliminate misdiagnosis of Bleach burn and the presence of Bleach burn from ocuring as well as i have been worried but clear of so far as of now by keeping my temps down and my wood burner off and continue heating with central air till harvest since last week.

The adapter to my oscillating fan broke so i only have the Lasko on and it is cold and windy enough for the harvest in a few weeks so all shall be fine i suppose, no sign of any bleach burn from the lights so far i am thankful and had kept it cool enough above the colas to avoid that issue at all costs. All continues to pack on weight and Trichomes with some purple blueish tinting on corners of the tops of the leaves and clusters and under the Abaxial surface of the leaves. I will get a close picture under the flowers next week when it will show a lot more it is too small now to notice as much color with my phone. I will also turn the lamp off to see the the plant better under ceiling lights before the day starts for week 8.

I took a couple of pictures with the lamp on so you could see the frosty finish coming just before Christmas, i have been opening the window in the mornings most of the last 2 weeks to flow c02 and to chill the colas a bit to get them looking more crystalized i think it works to get them frosted by snow or almost a chilled wet air from outside because the humidity gets dried up before it creates any damage to the trichomes because its so cold outside but yet warm inside i keep the fan blowing toward the window when i do this so it doesn't stunt the plant from a temp drop. I intend to do one more heavy dosage of Tiger Bloom and SuperThrive. I will not harvest till it shows most pistils brown from amber still many of the white pistil's mixed in with the amber so its not near harvest time yet i don't believe. I continued to slowly continue L.s.t. and Minimal H.s.t as you can see and it has helped tremendously i testify to my vision because i did not stress it out during mid flower and waited till week 7 and it was also given a small trim of leaves around some of the bottoms of the cola's. This has helped stop Bleach burn i was continuously worried of and i was able to drop the height of the bulb this way as weight was put on the bud's and sunk them as i trained them to droop a little more. I did a warm water flush and put a drain ramp clip under the pot to air out the roots and the run off its only about a quarter inch thick. Continued with one more flush, waiting to see how the colas fill up the next 2 or 3 days and might harvest if the Trichomes are turning amber. I have all milky Trichomes and will examine tomorrow to see how much has been packing on it looks like one more week tops i would assume for harvest Peak with some amber but id rather harvest with little to no amber but i will see how it looks and judge it then i see what the size of the buds look like.

I decided on a staggered Harvest to let the colas get more energy from trimming the lower branches off and let the terps, flavanoid's and other cannabinoid's concentrate more after i turned the heat up after doing weather drops all mid week 7 and 8. I plan on letting the soil dry out dry out then cutting it down in another day or 2 i think the very tips of the colas are just about to turn amber or just have. Fun strain and challenging to grow as long as you have amended soil and are ready to flower fast if you top you can take your chances but i will tell you that if you think your going to not have the perfect environment for these genetics i assure you will not get fat buds, both grows i did last season outdoor and this year indoor i have had perfect conditions and soil prepped, I know its cause i use B1 that it makes it so easy to balance the nutes or any problem it seems in my experience !!! I will show the Big Colas each or whatever day i cut them all down and show pictures because i do not have a scale at the moment until my next grow. I will show full colas after trim and main staggered cut either tomorrow or the day after depending on trichome coloring, bud development, and taco leaf assessment. I don't plan on doing 48 hours with a bag or darkness just because i don't have any bags and its already got enough trichomes from the cold cross breeze i had the day temps as low as 45 yesterday i don't want to do that in the last day or two i would rather warm it up and get the last punch of energy toward the clusters now that i already packed on trichomes before the last growth of bud size. I assume after drying the buds the remaining colas and buds will amount to around 3 ounces maybe i will be wrong i will never know but i have a good eye and we will see and i will guess. I decided to experiment with a continuous cold weather drop cycle every other day now until i fully harvest the plant at night i will let it warm back up and in the mornings i open the window to keep the trichomes from bleach burn. Final harvest soon 36 hours !!!
