With this being only my second grow ever and my first experience growing photoperiod plants, I was more than pleased with the end result - despite the little glitches and missteps along the way, including: - Overfeeding out of the gate: I really pumped the nutes early on and she started to claw - way too much nitrogen. Thanks to the advice from members of this incredible community I was quickly set straight and have since learned to listen to my plants more and pay less attention to feeding charts. - Light leaks - doh!: I think it was 2 weeks into my light switch to 12/12 (and no flowering action) that I realized that I had left two vent flaps at the bottom of the tent open. Plant started flowering within 2 days of me closing them. Lesson learned. - Calcium deficiency: her calcium needs may have been greater than what I was giving her or my PH was so off that she wasn't taking it in (see faulty meter tale below). Regardless, didn't spot the decency until too late. - Toasted PH meter: had faulty PH readings for a number of weeks before discovering my meter was toast - this lead to a calcium deficiency that she never quite recovered from. You can see evidence of that in the hollow branches in the photo above. I gave her a pretty tight wet trim and dried the plant whole. It dried quicker than I would liked in about 4 days at 35-40% RH. Chopped her up today and and gave the buds a little cleanup. Curing in glass mason jars with a Boveda 62% pack to get some moisture back into those slightly crispy buds. Part of me still can't help but think what could have been with this grow, but II can't wait to take another crack at this strain! I know I can do better. Starting a new grow in a few days. Thanks for tuning in!
