Day 0 - Started germinating in a paper towel on 13 Jan and taproot showed today, 15 Jan. Placed her in a peat pellet and in the humidity dome. Will actually start day 1 when she breaks soil.
Day 1 - Officially calling today day 1. She’s up and out of the soil. Going to give her a few more day in the humidity dome, then will place her into her final 3 gallon pot.
Day 2 - Looking nice and healthy so far. Still keeping her in the humidity dome for another couple days then will place her into her 3 gallon pot.
Day 3 - All seems to be ok, removed her from the humidity dome and put her into a solo cup for a couple weeks before moving her to a 3 gallon pot. Placed a glass over her to keep the humidity up.
Day 4 - Nothing much happening with the girl right now. Just trying to do what I can to ensure I don’t overwater her.
Day 5 - She looks pretty healthy so far but extremely small. I know most of the work right now is in the roots but looks like she’s already starting her second set of leaves and the first set is really not established yet. The seed was extremely small so maybe this is a runt but gonna let her go and see what happens.
Day 6 - She’s going along fairly decently but still not very big. All I can do right now is keep an eye on her and see how she does. I am having a low humidity issue that I’m trying to work through right now so hopefully if I can can the humidity up, she’ll start going!
Day 7 - She’s not looking the greatest size wise but still looks healthy. Got the new humidifier hooked up so hopefully with a higher humidity now, she’ll take off.
Day 8 - All seems to be ok so far, though she is a bit small but I think because I started day 1 when she popped out instead of when her first set of leaves showed. Letting her go and do her thing while taking it easy with the water.
Day 9 - Nothing really new going on right now. She’s looking pretty healthy and just letting her go for now.
Day 10 - Everything seems to be going good so far. I’m going to give her another week or so then transfer her to a 3 gallon fabric pot. Gave her a little bit of water today because of how dry it’s been. The new humidifier has been keeping the humidity up but she’s still drying out quickly.
Day 11 - No real issues going on right now, just giving her some time before she’s ready to be transplanted to her 3 gallon pot. Other than that, nothing much else going on.
Day 12 - All in all she’s looking pretty decent. Still not looking all that big and she’s definitely not ready to be transplanted. May have been overwatered a bit so letting her dry out before deciding anything.
Day 13 - Seems to be progressing decently. Once I chop my Sour Raspberry Kush and have a little more room in the tent, I’ll transplant her to a 3 gallon pot.
Day 15 - Starting week 3 today and will be transferring her to a 3 gallon pot today so she can develop more root mass and spread out. Once she’s transplanted I’ll give her a decent drink of water.
Day 17 - She’s not doing to bad right now so went ahead and transplanted her into a 3 gallon fabric pot for her to finish her growing. The roots were looking nice, white and healthy so hopefully everything continues the way it’s going. Went ahead and gave her a bit of water and nutes today as well.
Day 18 - Seems to be doing ok and gonna just let her go and recover a bit from the transplant. Hopefully everything goes well and she really starts taking off soon.
Day 19 - All is looking good still. Not much is really happening with her, still giving her some time to recover from the transplant.
Day 20 - Nothing much new going on, shut off one of the two lights I had running so hopefully I’ll get a little more stretching and growing happening. She’ll be needing some water and nutes in the next day or two.
Day 21 - The end of week 3 and gave her a half gallon of water and nutes today. She’s looking pretty good and appears to be taking of a bit. There’s a little bit of lower growth starting to happen now so hopefully here soon, I’ll be able to start doing a little LST.
Day 23 - Starting week 4 and she’s definitely starting to take off a bit now. Will definitely be starting some LST sometime this week. She’s doing good on water and shouldn’t need any for a couple days.
Day 24 - She’s chugging along nicely and will probably start LST tomorrow. Not much else happening at the moment and she’ll probably need some water in the next day or two.
Day 25 - Still not ready to start LST with her. I’d like her to stretch out a bit more so might wait until the end of week 4 and start. She’s definitely gonna need some water and nutes tomorrow.
Day 26 - Well was gonna wait to start LST but went ahead and started today. Just bent the main stem over so now the lower branch that is developed can get some more light. Went ahead and gave her a full gallon of water and nute until runoff today.
Day 27 - Almost the end of week 4 and she’s really starting to take off. Tied her back down again and tucked one of the bigger fan leaves underneath to get some of the lower growth going.
Day 28 - The end of week 4 and all is looking good right now. Gonna let her stretch a bit more and then will continue with the LST. Other than that, just wanted to check on things and get some updated pictures.
Day 30 - Week 5 and tied the top down again in a different direction. I had to remove two giant fan leaves that was blocking everything below. Could get them to stay tucked so just removed them. Gonna end up giving her some water and nutes tomorrow.
Day 31 - Holding off one more day before watering and feeding. She’s already turned back up to the light after tying her down yesterday and waiting for some of the lower growth to stretch a little more then will start tying them down as well.
Day 32 - All looking good but still would like to get a bit more stretch from the lower growth. Went ahead and removed one big fan leave to try and keep her opened and gave her a full gallon of water and nutes today.
Day 33 - Went ahead and stretched another branch out and tied it down and then tied the main branch down in another direction so everything looks nice and opened. Removed 2 big fan leaves as well so hopefully everything will start taking off now.
Day 34 - Nestling the end of week 5 and did a little more LST and tucked some leaves to keep her opened up. Really want the rest of the branches to get stretching to even everything out. She’s still got another couple of days before needing some water and food.
Day 35 - The end of week 5 and she’s starting to shoot out a few pistils here and there already. Still trying to get her to stretch and fan out a bit more. Gonna hold off on water and feed for another day or two.
Day 36 - Starting week 6 today and tied down and out a couple more branches today. Was going to give her some water and nutes today but tested the soil and still showed a bit damp so will hold off another day or two.
Day 37 - She’s looking good and already starting to put out an awesome smell despite not into flower yet. I really hope turning in the second light in the tent will help her start stretching a bit. I’ve tried cutting the light down a bit and not noticing anything from that so hopefully this will work. I’ll give her a gallon of water and nutes tomorrow.
Day 38 - Had to remove two big fan leaves today to keep her open and gave her a gallon of water and nutes today. I did readjust some of the branches I have tied down so we’ll see how she does.
Day 39 - Doing good after the watering yesterday and she’s starting to stretch out a bit now. Will continue with the LST after she stretched out a bit more.
Day 41 - Just about the end of the week and I did some more LST with but I messed up and snapped the main branch. I went ahead and taped her up to see if she’ll survive but I’m sure she’ll be stunted for a bit trying to repair herself. Hopefully overall, she’ll make it. Fingers are crossed.
Day 42 - The end of week 6 and don’t want to get my hopes up just yet but the stem that I broke and taped is turned back up to the lights. So fingers are crossed that she’ll survive. I did end up tying down a couple other younger branches to get them out and into the light. Will keep an eye on her over the next week or so and hopefully all continues going well.
Day 43 - Starting week 7 today and she’s coming along nicely since breaking her main stalk. Though I’m sure she’s not fully recovered yet, she’s still growing nicely and doesn’t seem to have any ill effects. Will probably be giving her some water in the next day or two.
Day 44 - Everything is going well with this girl, especially since the break. It’s almost like it didn’t happen but still gonna be careful with her. She was definitely needing some water today so gave her that and nutes today, tucked some leaves and placed her back in the tent.
Day 45 - Nothing much new with her right now. Tied and readjusted a couple branches to open her back up and removed a few fan leaves as well.
Day 46 - She’s coming along perfectly and didn’t really do much with her today. I did readjust a couple of branches again but other than that, I just tucked some leaves and removed 2 of them.
Day 47 - All looks good, gave her a nice drink of water and nutes today and just kinda readjusted a couple of the tie downs. Placed her back into the tent and tucked a few leaves that were in the way.
Day 48 - Almost the end of another week and no complaints. I stopped tying her out because it’s tight in the tent so need her to grow more vertical. Removed one fan leaf and then tucked everything else once she was placed back in the tent.
Day 49 - It’s the end of another week and this girl is stretching an inch every 24 hours. Doing my best to keep her growing up instead of out since I’m tight on space. I did tie out one beach from the middle to open that up some more but it’s not out passed the others. She’ll be getting some water and nutes tomorrow or Saturday.
Day 51 - Starting a new week and she needed some water and nutes for sure. I also added some molasses to the mixture on advice from a friend so we’ll see what that does for her. She’s still stretching quite a bit and looking forward to the buds really starting to develop.
Day 52 - Everything is looking good with this girl. She’s definitely a lengthy girl and somewhat “petite” but looking nice and healthy and starting to bud up nicely.
Day 53 - All is looking good and nothing much new to report today. She’s stretching like crazy right now, almost 2 inches the last 24 hours. It’s probably going to be another day or two before she needs some water. She’s not drinking as much as my other two.
Day 54 - Everything’s still looking good with the girl. She’s definitely lengthy but I’m sure she’ll fill out in due time. She’s not very “full” of fan leaves and such so that should help out cause bud sites aren’t blocked. I gave her a gallon of water and nutes and it’s really helping her grow.
Day 55 - Almost the end of week 8 and she’s chugging along nicely. Didn’t really do much with her, just wanted to readjust her in the tent.
Day 56 - The end of another week and she’s coming along nicely. Still really lengthy but I’m hoping and expecting her to do really well. I clipped off a couple low branches to keep energy focused on the main branches. She’s behind the other girls on water but should still need some by the end of the weekend.
Day 58 - The start of week 9 and gave her a good gallon of water and nutes today. A real lengthy girl but buds are forming nicely and she’s smelling amazing. She still seems to be stretching anywhere between a half and three quarters an inch every 24 hours.
Day 59 - The girl stretched another inch the last 24 hours and would like for her to stop stretching a bit and start packing on the buds bud she’s slowly getting there.
Day 60 - Nothing much going on right now. Looking forward to chopping my Cherry Cookies so she’ll have a little more room in the tent but she’s doing just fine. She still needs another couple of days before water and nutes.
Day 61 - She’s looking good and really starting to frost up everywhere. She ended up drying out quicker than I thought so gave her a gallon and a half of water and nutes today. She’s still budding up nicely and still had a couple fan leaves dead on the extreme lower half so removed them.
Day 63 - It’s the end of week 9 and she’s coming along nicely. She’s starting to pack on a bit and she’s frosty everywhere. Had a couple dead leaves at the bottom so removed them and will be giving her some nutes and water in another couple of days.
Day 64 - Starting week 10 and haven’t really had any issues so far. She’s definitely a lengthy girl and hoping the bud development will catch up to her soon. She’s frosty as hell all over and it’s looking like she’s gonna need some water and nutes in the next day or two.
Day 65 - Gave the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today and she’s still chugging along nicely. She’s still budding nicely but not sure how well she’s going to develop them with how lengthy and spacing between everything but I’m sure things will work just fine.
Day 66 - Everything is going good with girl still. She’ll have some more room to stretch outward come this weekend when I chop a plant. Other than that just watching her buds frost over and grow. She’s a bit behind with the watering schedule but will still be getting some by Wednesday.
Day 67 - All still looking good and buds are still forming and fattening. Definitely getting nice and frosty all over and she’s smelling amazing. She won’t be needing any water tomorrow like my other two but should be ready on Wednesday. Other than that, just keeping the leaves tucked to keep her as opened as possible.
Day 68 - I thought she still had some time before giving her water and nutes but she was dry today and gave her 2 gallons. She’s got more room to stretch out now that I put my Cherry Cookies into 72 hours of darkness.
Day 69 - Nearing the end of week 10 and everything is going great. She’s good on water for a few days and just took her out for a few updated pics. She’s back in the tent and tucked the leaves some more. She already unbelievably frosty already and can’t wait to see her when the buds really start getting fat.
Day 70 - The end of week 10 and all is looking good! Just letting her do her thing and fatten and frost up. She’s definitely still got several weeks left and another couple of days until she needs more water.
Day 72 - Into week 11 now and gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today. Overall she’s doing really well and budding up nicely. She’s already extremely frosty and looking forward to the next few weeks to see what she does at the end.
Day 73 - No real issues and nothing much else going on with the girl right now. Just took her out of the tent for some updated pictures and tucked a few leaves when I put her back for more light penetration.
Day 74 - Nothing much new really happening today. She’s frosty as hell and budding up nicely. She’s got another couple of days before she needs any sort of water or nutes but I’ll check in her tomorrow and if she needs some, I’ll give her some.
Day 75 - Nothing much to speak of with her right now. She got 2 gallons of water and nutes today and her buds are really looking gorgeous. She’s probably the strongest smelling plant that I’ve grown so far.
Day 76 - Almost the end of week 11 and all is good. Not much happening right now but did defoliate a few giant fan leaves. Other than that, just enjoying her smell and watching her swell.
Day 77 - It’s the last day of week 11 and she’s doing great. Not much really going on, she’s stacking buds and continuing to frost up even more than the beginning of the week. She should need some water and nutes by the end of the weekend. All in all it looks like this is gonna be a very easy trim for once.
Day 78 - Starting week 12 and will be giving her some water and nutes tomorrow. All is going well and gonna start keeping an eye on the trichs. She’s not really a big fat plant and I’ve never really had one grow so lengthy before but she’s definitely putting on same nice weight and an amazing smell.
Day 79 - Gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today, she was pretty dry and ready. Other than that, I’m just letting her go for now and I’m not needing to do much defoliating lately.
Day 80 - No real updates today, just some updated daily pics. Not really having to do anything with this girl but feed her and let her dry out, then repeat.
Day 81 - Nothing really new today, just letting her chug along. She will probably need some water in another day or so.
Day 82 - Everything’s looking good still but just realized that she might be foxtailing just a bit. Not really a worry for me but thinking it’s from the stress of when I snapped her main branch early on in growth. It seems to only be on a couple buds towards the top but going to keep an eye on her trichs and probably start flushing her tomorrow.
Day 83 - Gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today. The way she’s looking, this will probably be the last feeding of nutes before flushing. Still quite a bit of clear trichs but quite a bit of milky in theee as well so thinking she’s got about 2 weeks or so left.
Day 84 - The end of week 12 and she’s doing good. Really y’all and lengthy plant so trying not to take her out and move her too much anymore. Thinking she’s down to a couple weeks now so next feeding will be pH’d water only.
Day 85 - Starting week 13 today and still no issues. Checked some trichs today and still quite a bit clear in there but quite a bit cloudy. Going to start flushing her for her next watering and looking at her, think she’s got about 2ish weeks left.
Day 86 - All still on track for a chop in about two weeks. There’s less and less clear trichs but would like to get a good amount of amber before cutting so hopefully she’ll push them out in the next two weeks.
Day 87 - Gave her 2 gallons of plain 6.5 pH’d water today to start flushing out the nutes. She’s almost all ccloudy now and hopefully start getting some amber in there in the next two weeks before chopping.
Day 88 - All is going good still. Checked the trichs all over and it’s pretty much all milky and seeing a couple ambers in there. So it seems like about a week to two weeks left.
Day 89 - No real update, she’s getting a bit more amber in her so almost thinking she’ll be ready to chop this weekend. Just gonna keep an eye on her and when the trichs are right, she’ll get the axe.
Day 90 - Lots more amber are showing now so looks like it’ll be day 91 or 92 when I chop her. Will probably chop her on Friday but may end up doing it tomorrow. Not sure yet, depends on how I’m feeling and what she’s looking like tomorrow but definitely excited about getting her chopped, trimmed and start drying her.
Day 91 - The end of week 13 and Letting the girl finish drying out today and will be chopping her tomorrow. She has some lower fluff bud but everything else is ready.
Update 26 Apr: A little late with the update because she’s been dry for a little bit and using but the smoke is absolutely amazing! This is by far my absolute favorite at the moment. A nice piney/gassy flavor and the high just completely knocks out all my pain and leaves me in a daze. Can not wait to grow this one again but have a ton of seeds that I still want to grow from FatBuds and try. Highly recommend this strain for anyone who hasn’t tried it yet!
Can’t speak about the smoke yet but as soon as she’s dry enough to try, I will give an update. For now I’m going to update the flavors and such below with the smell and when I try her, I’ll update everything.
This girl was very easy to grow. Only issue I had, my fault, was snapping her main stem early in the growth. I’m guessing that slowed her growth down a bit so she could heal herself. She did seem to foxtail a bit but same thing, think it’s because of the stress from snapping her stem. She still got pretty fat but was really lengthy and stretched quite a bit. Overall though she had no issues other than what I caused. Took regular feedings of nutes and never got and worse than a little leaf tip yellowing. Definitely looking forward to growing this girl again and doing everything right now my part. I’ll update more as she dries and give a smoke report.
