GrislyOldVet Feb 17- Solid first week. Using CalMag foliar spray to keep leaves green. First watering I increased the nutes a bit.

GrislyOldVet 2/20-So far she's looking healthy. Good color. I watered to runoff with a quart of input. increased the nute load and she's showing no ill effects. I've been gently misting her with RO water/Cal Mag spray. 2/22-She's looking good so far. 2/24-She's growing nicely. But she's still got this stubborn slight yellowing between the veins on the leaves.

GrislyOldVet 2/28-Still have a bit of the off color leaves. Let the coco get really dry and that helped a bit. Watered to runoff. 3/1-Did Cal/Mag Foliar spray in the evening with lights off. 3/2-Noticeable difference with 'greener' leaves. The little bit of LST pulling the top over is getting the lower branches growing faster already. 3/3-First 3 weeks have been good.

GrislyOldVet 3/4-Watered to runoff. Inputs and output are in sync. 3/8-I did not top this plant. I'vem been just trying to do some aggressive leaf tucking and so far it seems to be working. The main cola is just slightly taller than the other branches that are growing around it. Watered to runoff. 3/10-First 4 weeks have gone well. The aggressive LST and leaf tucking are working well so far. I pruned 4 big canopy leaves that I had been ticking below the canopy. The canopy is relatively even. I expect that in the next week or 2 she is going to start stretching and then we'll really see. No signs of pre-flower yet.

GrislyOldVet 3/13-Switched to Bloom mix and watered to runoff. It looks like she is getting ready to preflower and stretch. Looks in good shape on the way into bloom phase. 3/17-She's starting to really show bud sites now. Fully switched to bloom nutes now. She's up to 12 inches now as she starts to stretch.

GrislyOldVet 3/18-Preflower is definitely starting now. 3/20-Still moving along nicely. But the plant still feels a little too wispy. I'm not sure how I feel about this one turning out on yield and potency. It's still early in the bloom phase so she might surprise me in the end. 3/22-She's really stretching now. Up to 20 inches. 3/24-Still stretching and adding bud sites. Up to 26 inches.

GrislyOldVet 3/27-I had to pinch the top of the plant to see if could slow down the vertical growth a bit. Seems to have handled it well. In fact it hardly made a difference at all. 3/31-She's really banging now. Bud sites are multiplying fast. I increased the EC evels to see if I can push her a bit more. Seems to be handling it well.

GrislyOldVet 4/6-The Jack keeps on chugging. Buds are stacking and starting to bulk up. Added the Ionbeam supplemental lights to help mid canopy buds. 4/7-Still looking good. Buds are stacking everywhere. I added Overdrive into the feed schedule. Looks like she's got another 2-3 weeks in her.

GrislyOldVet 4/8-Looking to see the buds get more stack, more density, and more sticky. 4/14-Very happy with where this one is at after 9 weeks. Buds are shaping up nicely, getting more dense and sticky. Seeing the first signs of the pistils getting some red hairs. Added a couple of new pieces of equipment into the tent, the ACI Terraform 3 in 1 ac/heater/dehumidifier, and the new Ionframe 7 700 w bar light which should help fatten up those buds over the next 2-3 weeks.

GrislyOldVet 4/15-Looking good as we enter week 10 since sprout. Looking for more stacking, more density, and more sticky! 4/17-Increased light intensity to 1,000 Ppfd. She's looking really good. The mid canopy buds are looking good and getting more dense as well. I think the combo of the new 700W Ionframe A7 light and Ionbeam supplemental lights is making a difference. 4/21-After 10 weeks this plant is looking like a winner. Trichomes are milky and starting to turn amber, at the top of the canopy and in the lower canopy. Buds at top and bottom have some real density. It's got a wonderful smell permeating my office. This one is getting close even though she's only at 70 days. I'll likely start flush soon.

GrislyOldVet 4/23-The top colas were moving fast to amber so I decided to take them down now to preserve the "Jack effect" I like rather than waiting for rest of the plant to catch up. The buds were massively dense and sticky. I left the buds on the branch for now but trimmed away most of the leaf and then placed them in the Cannatrol Dry/Cure to start drying. I reckon there is at least as much yield left on the plant so this grow is looking like it might get 5 ounces in the end. And the bud looks and smell awesome. Can't wait to try it. 4/24-The trichomes continue to get amber quickly so I did Cut #2 which yielded another 121.9 grams wet weight after trim and separation from branches. I think there is still another 125-150 grams of smaller but very dense buds left on the plant. I've lowered the PPfd on the remaining buds to the 600 range, down from 1000 ish to extend time to final harvest. I've now got a bit of a 'scheduling' issue in the Cannatrol box. I want to let Cut 1 & 2 go the full 4 days cure 4 days dry cycle. I'm hoping to stall the final harvest for another 6 days to clear that window. Good problem to have. 4/28-Well it turns out this gal still has some life in her. I've transitioned now from AN to Canna and I've kept the EC light at 1.3 and fed the Jack. Lo and behold I'm seeing new growth on the buds. The trichomes are cloudy but not overly amber so I'm going to just keep riding this gal until she don't want to run. We'll definitely make it ti 80 days which avoids the the Cool/Cure box traffic jam. I weighed cuts 1 & 2 after 4 days and the dry weight was 120.7 grams or 4.3 ounces. It will shrink some more in the 4 day cure but that's a good start. Depending how this last cut goes I think we'll get 5-6 oz when all is said and done.

GrislyOldVet 4/29-This one is making a final push to the finish line. You can see last little bits of growth in the buds, getting dense and frosty. I think she's got another 3-4 days left but its already clear there is not going to be any larf on this one. I think patience will be rewarded on this one! 5/3-Harvested the Bottom Buds. They were huge! Not one bit of larf or 'B' weed in this grow.

GrislyOldVet 5/5-This grow went great after 2 seeds didn't sprout. The 3rd one was a charm. Huge dense buds and great yield!!
