MontanaManMedical Full disclosure: Bay 11 by the original breeder, Grand Daddy Purple Seeds, is my favorite Sativa-leaning strain, and my favorite overall. I believe in using the original breeder’s seeds when possible, but it wasn’t possible to source the strain when I wanted it, so I’m planting this instead. I’ve grown it before, and it seemed very close to the feminized version of Bay 11. I first grew the reg version of Bay 11, so that’s the one I’m waiting to get in stock for a future reg grow to compare.

MontanaManMedical She’s looking really healthy, with roots developing that should soon be within reach of the reservoir. Until then, I’m manually watering it. I doubt it’ll be more than a few days before it’s able to feed on its own.

MontanaManMedical Growth is steady and everything looks stable. The roots haven’t made it to the reservoir yet, but I’ve upped the water in the bucket now that I’ve relocated the plant to the 2nd veg tent, formerly the autoflower/indica flowering tent. This is causing a little bit of the water to be splashed onto the roots by the air stones in the bucket. This should help speed things up.

MontanaManMedical A lot of growth in the last week, with Bay 11’s rapid branching showing itself early in veg. As I’ll likely be harvesting Strawberry Cough on Tuesday, Bay 11 will likely be transplanted into the flowering tent soon after.

MontanaManMedical She was moved into the flowering tent on Wednesday and has already grown significantly, which is why I didn’t need to give it much veg time. Before the 100% sativas I’ve grown, this was my high water mark for stretching strains.

MontanaManMedical There’s already a significant amount of stretch early in flowering. The plant looks healthy, with good root development. Once Bay 11 finishes stretching, she puts on a lot of weight, especially when she has a healthy set of roots.

MontanaManMedical She’s really beginning to stretch now! She’s only 17 days into flowering technically, and is already poking through the lower trellis net, which is impressive given that it was only given 20 days of veg. I’m glad I stuck with what I know. It’s really tempting to veg longer. Budding is already well underway as the plant continues its stretch. I’ve done some light defoliation to help with light penetration and airflow, but am spacing it out in order to minimize stress to the plant.

MontanaManMedical She’s stretched a lot in the last week, with nearly every branch breaking through the top trellis net. She’ll likely stretch for another week, but it seems to have slowed down a little bit in the last 48 hours. The plant is budding out really nicely, and overall looks happy.

MontanaManMedical She continues to stretch a little bit, though that has slowed down dramatically in the last few days. She’s really budding out now, with even development across the canopy. I doubt that there will be much more stretching.

MontanaManMedical She has really bulked up in the last week! There was a little bit more stretch earlier in the week, but it was minimal. The plant is now concentrating on putting on weight, with multiple colas at almost the same level developing into massive towers. The next few weeks will be exciting.

MontanaManMedical She continues to put on weight as she enters the final few weeks of flowering. In addition to the flowers bulking up, they’re also beginning to get frosty. This week she gets her last full dose of nutrients. Everything is looking great and is on target for a nice harvest.

MontanaManMedical We’re heading towards the finish line! I’ve reduced the nutrients and started adding the Carboflush. She still has 2.5 weeks to go, so there’s plenty of time for the plant to develop further. You can already see the buds are maturing as they swell.

MontanaManMedical We’re just a week and a half away, and she’s looking amazing. The buds have rapidly matured, getting quite sticky at the same time. I’ve given her some bloom nutrients in addition to Carboflush, as she still has enough time left before harvest to use them.

MontanaManMedical We’re almost there! I’ll be giving her the chop on either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on my schedule. There is a healthy fade to the leaves as we enter the last few days of flowering. The smell is still the same earthy-sweet scent that I’m used to with this strain. I’ll take a bunch of photos with my DSLR right before I harvest, and those will be included with the harvest entry.
