CBD Dragon F3 Male

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . (filling retroactively) end of Week 1: Plant is doing healthy. vigorous growth and height.

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . (filling retroactively) End of Week 2: Growing incredibly well. Stem could use some thickening, but that should come with time. Side Note: It's a regular seed and could be a male at this point (especially given it's vigor), but a few days into week 3 I started getting bubble gum smell from top leaves, very faint but smelled exactly like Hubba Bubba "Bubble Tape" as I remember it, despite not having smelled or chewed that gum for decades 😋). Because Male plants don't typically start smelling so early, I'm leaning towards this being a female, but even if its not I'm still keeping as that smell brings years of childhood flooding back to me, and gives me shivers its so good. 😍😃

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . end of Week 3: "Bubblegum" is doing really well, quite vigorous and also super thirsty, despite me keeping the VPD in the 0.8-1.0 range. The leaves are thinner than average, more easily damaged, and they sometimes have a faint purple hue under the right light. The damage on the top leaf was due to me playing scratch n' sniff the other day to get a good whiff. oops 😐

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . End of Week 4 (day 28): "Bubblegum" is going good, decent amount of growth in the lower limbs now as they reach up to nearly match the height of the main stem, nearly in lockstep with the growth of the SHK next door, while being a couple inches shorter and a couple days older than the SHK. As for nutrients and lighting needs, I bumped nutrients up by a conservative amount leaning slightly in favor of bloom, and while the SHK has taken the extra PK like it was nothing, CBD Dragon is apparently more sensitive to phosphorus and displayed a small amount of leaf tip nutrient burn at the top. That's good to know moving forward that I'll have to go lighter on the Noot Noots than SHK, at least until they're in flower.

Zeven_Xero_Fyve . Over the last few days it was starting to become apparent that Bubblegum might be a male, and today (Day 30) I was able to get a close enough look and I'm 99% sure those are pollen sacks forming. That being said, he's not getting chopped but instead will go to his own small tent to produce fresh pollen, much of the reason being the delicious bubblegum smell that started after 2.5 weeks. Had me fooled in just about every way. Smelled delicious, extremely bushy, not overly tall, absolutely perfect leaves to the point where they looked like plastic fakes in person. He's one healthy MF and will continue on.
