Rainbows COB led grow

I hand fed my seedlings until they were 3 days old, then they were setup for the automated irrigation. They are being fed every 2.5 hrs. Hmmm, this girl was the slowest to sprout and she's still a bit behind the others. She's growing ok, though, andI think she might catch up.

Still the smallest of the 3 plants, but she's does ok. I've increased the nute mix to 1100 EC. On day 10 I started to increase the light for part of the day. For about 5-6 hrs I had the medium setting on the light - around 450W as apposed to 250W for seedlings. On day 11 I've given the plants a few more hrs. If they are okay with another few hot hrs on day 12 as well I'll leave the light on full veg. power. Day 13; she'll get chopped tomorrow or the day after for the quadlining. She grows a bit smaller and taller than her tent sisters at the moment. She has some issues with the full veg. power on the led, and she's the reason I won't flip the led to full veg. power just yet. We'll stay with part of the day for now. Day 14; Unlike her tent sisters, she wasn't big enough to get topped just yet. Perhaps later in the day, otherwise tomorrow. Day 14 - 2; She got topped as well today.

Day 17; Three days after the plant was quadlined and she starts to recover. 'Day 19; The plant is fattening up nicely and the growing is starting to take off. She'll grow quickly now and it's soon time for another topping. She grows a bit taller than my other plants. She got a bit sun burnt from the stronger light setting, and some leaves look a bit scorched. Later today I started the LST - fun! Day 21; She's developing well and will be ready for another topping in a few days. I added Rhino Skin to the nute mix to help one of the other plants to heal after an injury.

Day 23; She grows well and she'll be ready for the second topping tomorrow together with her tent sister Green Gelato. Day 24; I topped her today. All branches topped at node 3. All nodes below have been removed. Day 25; I trained her 4 branches outwards/downwards. I want the 8 colas to start growing along the perimeter of the pot. Day 28; I drilled 8 extra holes in the pot to make training better. The 8 nodes of each plant are now being trained into their respective position from where the colas will start growing upwards.

Day 29; Trained the arms for an hour - outwards, and bent some branches down to try to even out the height between the nodes Day 31; Done some more training. The 8 shoots are in position now - time to grow upwards. I found a shoot in the centre of the plant coming up from the ground. Not sure what to do with it yet, so I'll leave it for now. Day 32; I couldn't keep my fingers away and had to do some more training. Day 33; Did some more training. Now the 8 arms are where I like them to be. Day 34; Have finished training until adjustments might be needed to cola growth Day 35; No training

Day 36; The nute concentration has been lowered a bit Day 37; She's starting to grow fast now. Trying to keep the arms even by rotating the plant in the tent to give the smallest branches the most light. Day 39; Just letting her grow. She's spreading and dominates the tent by claiming most space. Day 42; Now we start to see the 8 colas form. She is growing tall quickly and I might have to switch soon. I think in a week or a bit less.

Day 43; I defoliated her today. She grows very well. I'll be forced to switch soon Day 44; Defoliated a little bit more. She's forcing me to switch in 1-2 days. She's got a few cm still to go. Day 46; Vertical growth has slowed down a lot. I will allow her to grow max 6 cm more before I switch. She's a happy girl. Day 48; Final day of 20 hrs of light. After the light goes out tonight, it'll be dark for 32 hrs, and then 12/12

Day 50 - 3 of flower; First day of flowering - I set the light to full power and raised it to 90 cm above the canopy. Day 52 - 3 of flower; Stretch is starting. I upped the nutes a tiny bit to an EC of 900. The leaves were showing signs of underfeeding after the switch. Day 54 - 5 of flower; She's coming along well. I've picked a few leaves and will do another defoliation in 2 days. Day 55 - 6 of flower; Defoliation, a fair bit of leaves were removed.

Day 57 - 8 of flower; She's quickly growing leaves after the big defoliation 2 days ago. The 8 colas are shaping up beautifully. Day 59 - 10 of flower; She's stretching a lot. New leaves are already getting big and some need to get plucked soon. Day 61 - 12 of flower; She is still a happy girl. SHe's the medium stretcher out of my 3 plants I had to defoliate some again. Day 63 - 14 of flower; I'm doing light defoliation and pick a few leaves every day almost. Will probably do a heavier defoliation next week.

Day 65- 16 of flower; I have been picking a few leaves here and there. I try to remove leaves that block bud sites. I will wait a few days and then try schwazzing her. Day 67 - 18 of flower; I schwazzed her - hopefully she'll survive... Day 69 - 20 of flower; Only 2 days after the schwazz and all the buds have begun to swell. She also kicked off some trichome production. I decided to lower the EC a little bit to 1.0. I could just see some burnt tips.

Day 71 - 22 of flower; She seems happy enough after the massive defoliation 4 days ago. I see more and more trichomes and she starts to smell incredibly well - she smells of sour candy. Day 74 - 25 of flower; She's filling up her colas nicely. She's getting sticky and gets more and more smell - beautiful!

Day 78 - 29 of flower; I'm not doing much to her now apart from nipping the occasional leaf. She's focusing on building buds and she's getting seriously sticky. The smell is amazing. Day 81 - 32 of flower; I've picked a few leaves, otherwise done nothing to her. Her colas are filling up very well with sticky buds - I couldn't be happier with her performance. The smell is unbelievable!

Day 87 - 38 of flower; The smell of this lady is unreal - like sweet and sour candy. She'd developing amazing long bud structures and I'm expecting a good yield out of her. Day 89 - 40 of flower; She got another defoliation today. She develops amazing buds and her smell of Zkittlez is outstanding.

Day 95 - 46 of flower; This beautiful baby is just packed with sticky buds everywhere. Give her the tiniest touch and your hands get super sticky and smell of Skittles. She's stacking up on her buds well. I noticed some discolouration on a few leaves that looked like salt poison, so i gave her a good flush and increased the feeding volume a bit.

Day 102 - 53 of flower; She's still building a bit of height, but it looks like it'll stop now and start building some volume. She is so sticky! Her smell is getting stronger and it's absolutely delicious.

Day 108 - 59 of flower; Her buds are getting bigger and frostier. She is a happy lady and her smell is sooo sweet when I open the tent. The buds are still adding a bit of height, so I'm still waiting for them to start getting fatter. Day 109 - 60 of flower; I lowered her nutrient intake a bit to an EC of 0.6.

Day 113 - 64 of flower; The flowers are still growing a little bit vertically, but are starting to fatten up now. The buds are very hard, sticky, and they smell of heaven.

I loved growing this girl!! She was super easy to train. Her branches are strong but flexible. Super-cropping is a breeze. She grew very strongly, and happily pushed my other strains aside. She has been spreading her beautiful smell for the major part of flower. She smells so good. She's sticky to touch. I'd happily grow this strain again, and I also recommend it highly to my fellow growers. I have so far only tried a couple of small buds that accidentally came of during handling. They have been quick dried and not cured. I vaped it with a Volcano vaporiser. Unfortunately I'm a heavy user due to pain, and don't really get stoned as such. The taste is very sweet & sour, it tastes really good. And, even though I don't really get affected from weed, this girl really has a kick. I can feel a heavy head high that I'm not used to feel - awesome! She's my new favourite for sure. Even though she hasn't been cured yet, I can tell she's one of the best I've ever had, perhaps even the best one. I can't wait to try her once she has dried and cured. I took some of the pop corn buds from the bottom of the plant and cob cured it. This stuff is absolutely beautiful to vape. I love the sour candy like flavour - it tastes very refreshing. And the effect is very up lifting. I recommend this strain to anyone who likes potent weed with a sour fresh taste.
