Started to water more frequently with a lower amount, also used water from my aquarium to feed plant. On day 6 of week 8 I removed the lower fan leaves of the 1st node. Day of week 8 plant measured at 60cm I had to angle the 40wx2 LED’s to get more exposure to the upper canopy, also moved them about a bit.

I managed to finally get a hold of a 600w LED on day 4 of week 9, I placed it a 1ft above due to space but I probably would of placed it slightly higher if I had more space, also mushrooms were sprouting from the sandy mulch layer during this week. Also applied some eco thrive charge.

Day 3 of week 12 flowers look and smell amazing, applied some molasses on day 4 of week 12 and then a compost tea the following day, gave plant no water for 48hrs from day 7 of week 12 till day 2 of week 13. During this week I was deciding weather or not to harvest the plant as a whole or to harvest in sections over a few weeks, to get a bigger yield overall.

During week 13 on day 5 I Harvested the buds between nodes 5-8, 8 being the top, and I couldn’t of been happier when I looked at the beautiful buds which were glistening with trichomes, I thought surely mycorrhizal fungi can’t be this beneficial, the smell was piney lemony like a lemony piney forest so Dank.😌

On week 14 nodes 4 were more exposed to light, also I limited the amount of water I was now giving to the plants and I was also going 24-48hrs without watering her. I watered her with about 1L of water during that whole week and at the end of it I decided to harvest node 4 buds, and the following day I harvested buds connecting to node 3. During this week the buds I had harvested the week previous were drying at 55% humidity with minimal air flow. I then went on to cure some of the buds and also smoke some to see how they felt with a final dry process, I even smoked a small nug that was a little wet still and still had some residual chlorophyll, I smoked it to see how it felt. And yes ofc when I smoked it, it burnt a little to harsh but overall the ash was white with a few dark areas here and there as I was burning it, the efffect was an instant head high, then then came down very gradually into an uplifting mellow chilled effect, it lasted almost all day did the effects, but you felt it come down so steadily.

On week 15 final week I harvested the final nodes, 1&2 on separate days.. A few days later I recycled the soil. Overall if I hadn’t of split up the harvests then I would of potentially ended up with a lower yield which lacks the quality it could of potentially expressed. I also was happy to see how well the auto handled it. I have written down on some separate notes my final comments about the grow and here are some of them-“And I wake up feeling good really good. You feel an urge to get things done on this bud I love it! And deffiently would trade Yield for Quality all over again.” “Very very happy for first ever harvest”. So for anyone wanting to grow this strain let me just recommend something, mycorhizle fungi, and plenty of good quality soil,. Most buds took a week to dry, and after that I cured some but smoked most because of how good it smelt and looked. Highly recommend growing this strain you won’t be disappointed.
