Dameon0803 This was a clone from my previous plant I grew after doing a defoliation just prior to flower. I cloned it to honestly just see if I was able to with subpar conditions. The clone had rooted and grew under a very week light as I took the mom through 9 weeks of flower. At transplant I'd like to say she was roughly 18 inches. I had buried roughly 10 inches of the clones stem in the pot her mom was in immediately after harvesting it. I transplanted May 22nd and the picture is from May 30th. Those are the only photos I have until June 2nd when I start to have daily pictures. June 11th is when I installed my Ac Infinity AI controller and will be able to provide enviromental conditions.

Dameon0803 The clone has taken well to the new environment it is in. Steady growth, minimal stress and delay. She was foliar sprayed with CalCarb. Pictures are the 2nd - 6th of June. Craft Blend was an 1/8 cup sprinkled on media with a 1/2 inch layer of Build a Flower and an sprinkle of Kashi Blend across the top of the media.

Dameon0803 These are pictures from the 12th to the 17th of June. I like to spray Wettable Sulfur a week before I transition into flower. I also lower my lights from 18 hours to 16. Skipping a day of training hurt me as the plant was growing so vigorously, the stems would be harder to bend and snap in that short of time. As seen in the front right, I had snapped a branch in half. When trying to tape and brace it, I had broke it to where it was barely attached. Using some plumbers tape, a trick I had learned from another grower, the stem actually survived. Additional bonus is the tape will stretch as the stem thickens. AC Infinity controller seems to be working well. Ill continue to play with it to dial in what I want.

Dameon0803 These pictures are from the 18th to the 24th of June. There was some pretty large spikes in temperature and humidity this week as I was playing with the controller and had a few settings off. As seen, the plant really took off. Again, skipping a day, I tried to train a stem in the top left and lost both a main stem and hoped the growth still on the stem will take its place as a main. There is a lot of training and learning happening this week. I continue to tuck leaves to keep nodes in direct light. Training is going a little different than I had imagined, but it is working out. Cover crop is smashed, and the beneficials are loving it.

Dameon0803 These pictures are from the 25th of June to the 1st of July. Sorry about the rope being in the way for half the shots. I didn't realize it was in front of my camera. She is stretching quickly! I'm keeping up with her and continuing to ensure all spots that require light are getting it by tucking leaves. The controller for the environment has really impressed me. I no longer feel like I'm wasting energy or having timers out of sync and only getting a somewhat stable environment. There was a light defoliation that I did for the lower and upper canopy. Growing this way, I'm able to save a lot of fan leaves I feel I'd be pulling in traditional grow methods. From experiencing the growth of the mom plant prior to this, the stretch is about to have its last little burst, so I will allow the plant to grow vertically to hopefully achieve around 8 inches of even canopy stretch to each corner of my light.

Dameon0803 The photos this week will be the 2nd to the 8th of July. It was a busy week with friends and family. The pleasure of using the controller and Olla's is health and growth continues in my absence. There is a spike because I messed with the controller and forgot to reset it. This week I did not get a watering in, nor did I defoliate as early as I typically do. But this is only days we are talking, so it'll be fine. I realized I need a wide lensed camera, as I have maxed this tent with one plant. Not mentioned prior, I only water once a week with the nutrients that are typically listed and only half of it because I only water half a gallon. Again, the great joys of Olla's.

Dameon0803 Another easy week. Bud and trichome production seem to be on point. This plant is truly maxed. She is 18 inches with about 12 inches being above the scrog screen. She stretched a little more than expected. She was supercropped in several location and didn't skip a beat. Obviously, the angle of my camera doesn't give the whole picture. But now there's some buds that can be watched in development. I'm fighting night time humidity. My little Vivosun dehumidifier can't keep up. Likely a future upgrade as I'm sure I'll struggle to get to 50% with lights on next week. Temps when my light off could ideally be lower as well. Not enough that I see the need to invest into anything like an A/C. Loving to see the little bits of purple start to come out. I'm sure lower night temps would amplify that. I did a final top dress of Build-A-Flower, an 1/8 cup of Craft Blend, and a topping of Kashi followed by a half gallon watering with the listed nutrients once at the beginning of the week.
