She started life as an attempt at outdoor hydro with real sunlight. The algae won and she was transplanted into soil in a greenhouse. She is 4 weeks old here.
She grew very well in the greenhouse, here she is in July and into August. Growth was stunted always from outgrowing the plug she started in in the hydro system. But leaves are very healthy and she is very healthy.
She started flowering in late August. As soon as she did our greenhouse was destroyed by a storm. My two other plants (4 ft tall Sativas) got bud rot and we had to burn them in a giant bonfire. She came to my house and was abused with a 100w led aquarium light and being moved outside every day until it was too cold in October (2018).
She was pick harvested for a bit less that a half oz. the bud was a good clean strong Sativa high very energetic. I ended up cutting down the main stalk and leaving her under that 100w led light 24-7.
She stayed in my basement under 24/7 lighting from the end of October until the end of December when I got my current tent and set up with optic 4 gen 3 led light, 4x3 tent and venting. Her original reveg leaves were gnarled and curly.
Into January and February her growth started to change. Many long branches grew off of the core stump, and I lollipopped as they grew toward the light. He structure and leaves are completely different than the huge dark leaves she originally grew.
This is Frankensheila. You guys were so supportive I decided to show you my baby. She is going to be a year old in June. I harvested her last October after a rough life outdoors and had to bring indoors before I had my setup. I revegged her and flowered with my other plant in end of March. She is flowering beautifully and I can’t wait to see how well she does. Join the fun as I plan on trying to keep her alive through another harvest.
Temps were getting into upper 80s, I had to get another fan, I’m running my 2 4” fans as intakes and the new 6” for exhaust and temps are great. She is actually starting to purple up which is awesome for a sour diesel strain. Flowers are wide and so dense. Check out how large the trichs are, this shot was taken with an iPhone no zoom.
Started week 7 of flowering, she is doing great and colas are really starting to swell. I am surprised to see some amber trichomes already when most are still clear with about 30% starting to cloud. My other plant has the amber too it seems they are concentrated under my lights’ uv and ir diodes so maybe that’s why? I have decreased feedings for a bit and only giving molasses once a week and water.
I started an auto and the soil had some root aphids and they have halted her growth I think. She is starting to try and grow new growth at lower nodes and flowers appear to be stretching and getting airy. Most trichomes are cloudy but it’s only been 8 weeks of flowering. She may be the rare black phenotype her leaves are getting super dark. Maybe it’s just the 20 deg temp swing nightly.
She came out great, her stature gave me a small harvest size, 30.44g. The buds are great looking and quite covered in resin so I didn’t trim much. The purple looks awesome and the cure has begun. They smell so strongly of diesel it actually makes me slightly ill to take a huge whiff, and then smell quite lemon piney with diesel when ground. Smoke is good. Very alert but very noticeably high by unhigh bystanders. Very relaxing yet not tiring.
@CF998, Ah now I understand what you will be doing with this lady and how she will make 1 year old.
If I'm correct?
Your plan is to grow this lady out, harvest most of the flowers and then put the plant back under 18/6 lighting (from 12/12) to re-veg and start again👌
Very cool to see and a grow we will be following along with great interest 👏
Kind regards ✌️
