SirSmokealot7 Good stretch so far

SirSmokealot7 The flowers are starting to appear. I'm not adding the days anymore because they don't line up properly. Anyway, I'm adding about 5 liters of water every 3 days. It is actually week 8, and exactly 56 days have passed since germination. The growth progress is steady, and the plants are developing well during this period.

SirSmokealot7 So now it's actually been 10 weeks or 70 days since germination. In the meantime, I've removed several leaves on multiple occasions and bent down some branches. In my opinion, the plant looks good so far, and the stretch hasn't been too strong. There are some small brown spots on a few leaves - I'm not entirely sure what caused them, but I suspect minor burns. Other than that, the Queen receives about 1.5 liters of water, and nutrients every 4 to 5 days.

SirSmokealot7 It's Week 11 overall and Flowering Week 5. In Flowering Weeks 3-4, I was a bit too generous with Topmax and BioBloom, which led to some nutrient burn. Because of this, the plant (the "Queen") has only received water with a little CalMag for the past few days. Yesterday, at the start of Flowering Week 5, I gave it a weak nutrient mix. Overall, despite the nutrient burn, the flower development is good, and the plant otherwise looks healthy. I also removed some of the burnt leaves (about a handful). I'm hoping yesterday's weak feeding won't worsen the nutrient burn, but we'll see. Please don't judge me, I only meant well! :D

SirSmokealot7 86 days since germination and day 41 of flowering. The queen has recovered well, and further feeding hasn’t had any negative effects. However, I’m still using a lower dosage. I estimate the plants will need around 3 more weeks. All in all, I’m quite satisfied so far.

SirSmokealot7 It's Day 93 and Day 48 of flowering, so almost Week 7. The Queen is slowly starting to fade. Overall, bud development looks good and I think she needs about two more weeks. I've started lowering the nutrient dosage. I think I'll give her one last small feeding during Week 7 of flowering, and then begin the flush.

SirSmokealot7 Day 100 / Day 55 of flowering. The buds are continuing to swell, and the stigmas are gradually turning brown. The majority of trichomes are still clear, with some beginning to turn milky. Based on current development, harvest is likely in approximately 7 days, though it may take slightly longer. From this point on, the plant will receive only water until harvest.

SirSmokealot7 Day 108 since germination, day 63 of flowering. Today (Wednesday) is the last day the light will be on. Starting tomorrow, the plant will go into darkness, and harvest is planned for Friday. Over the past few days, the Queen has only received plain water-today she got another 2 liters. From now until harvest, I'll let her dry out completely. All in all, I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. This grow had its ups and downs, but I learned a lot along the way. It was my first time growing a photoperiod plant, and also the first time I topped and trained a plant so extensively. Looking back, I think the results speak for themselves. I'll post an update after harvest along with details about the curing process-plus a full report on flavor and effects.
