Scuffed seed, soaked overnight in tap water and then another day in damp paper towels. Transferred to a cup full of soil until day 5, when the Waterfarm was ready.
Didn't get photos for this week, as this was before I knew about GD and had been documenting just for my own reference.
Nothing too exciting happened during week 3, just a good "watch the pot boil" week, waiting for some good growth to kick in!
Another week without photos, before I knew about GD. Not much happened this week, just waited for her to bounce back from mainlining.
I think it may have been this week I added an air stone to the reservoir, possibly the next. Not a ton of growth happened immediately though.
Week 7 was all about waiting for the plant to recover from the second bout of mainlining. Not a ton of growth right up until the start of week 8, when she took off on me.
I tried to be diligent with keeping humidity high and temperatures relatively low, but otherwise just let her do her thing.
Trying to keep her on the shorter side. Have defoliated a few times after mainlining, but leaving the "bonus" tops to see what happens. 8 main colas using Nebula's mainlining method, and LST to separate and anchor the 8 mains. Will be using dowel rods and velcro when she needs the support, will likely be flipping the switch to 12/12 at the end of the week. She has taught me a ton already, I'm excited and anxious to see how we do in flower. Fingers crossed!
She's ripe for flowering, so flipped the switch to start the process. So far this project has been very rewarding and I've learned so much, I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks!
The week has gone fairly well, though there are some very small pieces of roots free-floating in the reservoir. I haven't strayed from my routine except maybe the water I refilled with was a bit colder than room temperature. Seems quite happy otherwise; should I be worried?
ETA: the floating root bits are just as bad even after another gentle flush, but it doesn't seem to be bothering her. Time for some benign neglect, I think. She looks happy otherwise.
So, I did a dumb thing early this week. RH was getting a little high, so I opened one of the bottom flaps on the tent to increase air flow. Turns out it let in a significant amount of light from a clone I'm vegging outside of the tent, and so I had a couple "banana" stamens pop up at the very tops of a couple colas. Clipped them and closed the flap, will figure out RH another way.
I'm a week late posting this; life happened! I've reached a state of benign neglect for now, but hopefully not for much longer. She seems to be doing fine. Not a ton of growth since the last update, but definitely maturing. The smell is getting stronger, and maybe not as pleasant. It's still piney and earthy, but has a strange chemically-oil undertone as well. Hoping it cures on the pine side!
Okay, these are the pictures for this week. I think harvest time is approaching much quicker than I expected; seeing some amber trichomes on a couple big colas, and mostly cloudy everywhere else. I think in a few days I'll start flushing and prepping the space for chopping and drying. Looking for opinions though: would you give it an extra week? Two?
All is well! After 26 hours drying, have 6.5 ounces including stems. Will update with dry weight once the buds are off the stems. I am very impressed with this plant and hope the other seeds I have will perform similarly. Solid start to a new hobby!0
