31.12 Day 51 Still bloody stretching! It's going to be too tall for my lamp soon.... So decided to supercrop and tie the main top down 2.01 Day 53 I reckon the super cropping was a banging idea! All the other shoots have shot up and its now looking like it's going to be a big yielder when it (eventually) matures! Really excited to see if it's going to have that musky chocolate taste/aroma!

6.01 Day 95 Reduced the bio grow and upped the cal mag and top max last night. Probably going to be a 12 week flower this one, maybe even longer! Starting to get a very mild chocolate smell when close up and touching her.

22.2 We're looking close to harvest now, it's been approximately 8 weeks since I flipped to flower now but to be honest I've completely lost track of this one.... 🤔. Going to cut the pk boost and biogrow out now. Feed one more week and then flush her out. I think the leave yellowing is just normal now. 24.02 Trichomes are getting cloudy now.

28.02 Going to just use molasses from here out. Looking lovely, doesn't really have much smell at all. Hopefully harvest in two weeks? 2.03 Trichomes are nearly all cloudy now, probably going to harvest on Sunday 05.03 A few days ago a small branch feel off. Last night I smoked some, it's really fucking strong! And I do think after a cure it's going to have a wicked choco/caramel flavour! Going to harvest tonight as I need to break everything down for landlord visit.... But ideally would have liked to push her to the end of the week.

Week 17. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

So it's that time again.... Sample buds were pretty strong not much flavour but a hint of earthy, chocolate and caramel. Grew pretty tall and fast considering switch to flower was at 5 nodes at week 3/4. Took 12 weeks to flower even though it says supposed to be 65 days. Harvested at 5%ish amber. I have a few more of these and will definitely grow again in the near future.

262g of wet birds, lightly trimmed and hanging in the tent. Will check the temp and rh tomorrow morning. so I'm guessing about 90g buds on this one no more, which isn't bad. Looking into getting a larger tent soon and a new light, possibly one of these spiderfarmers everyone's going on about! Update! 55g dried, manicured, trimmed buds! Smells very citrus and hazy, I don't think this had much of the chocolate characteristics

Ich wollte schon es auch schon ausprobieren mit 12/12 bin auf dein Endergebnis gespannt :) viel Glück

MovingOncommentedweek 145 years ago
I am confused. You marked that this is 12/12 from seed, but your weeks 1 & 3 say 18 hours of daylight. This would not be 12/12 from seed then, correct?
MovingOn
MovingOncommented5 years ago
@Fruitgrower, that's technically not 12/12 from seed. Which actually *is* a thing. ;)
Fruitgrower
Fruitgrowercommented5 years ago
@MovingOn, well yeah kinda. But if you research 12/12 and there isn't alot of information out there, it suggests to let itveg for 2 to 2 weeks first anyway

On YouTube, a guy I follow, HygroHybrid. Is doing a grow with a spiderfarmer and an HLG 550 V2 Rspec. Side by side, different genetics but he knows his genetics and what output should be.
the end.
