The stretch is just about done. She’s really bushed out, but the leaf spacing is still pretty nice. I’ll defoliate late in the week, to get light and air to the lower buds. So far so good. Should be building some flowers now. I increased nutrients a little, as I’ve not seen any nute burn.
I love your title to your grow. How cultured of you. :)
Also I like the fox farm line...and I see you use the sledgehammer....do you think it makes a huge difference? Can you recall a grow you didn't use it, or have you always used it every time.
@Experimentgreen, Thank you! As far as the sledgehammer goes, I’m not sure if it makes a huge difference for me. I have only been using it the last couple of grows. I always water with 20% runoff, so sledgehammer might be a moot point. Cha-Ching can leave an aftertaste, so I figure it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
@Maria, Thank you very much! This strain should be great outside!
My friend grows outdoors each year, and wants a sativa that can flower quickly. I’ll definitely be getting a seedling or two to her.
@Stinkfox, bushyness is good, you don't want a lot of space between nodes, that's a really good point with the sativa leaves, I bet that helps alot. By the end the buds will be blocking the light to the bottom, I like to do it also to help the coloas ahieve the fatness I like, because when u remove lower larfy non developed nugs the power and light all go to the tops. Absolutely loveing the size tho she is one wide beauty :)
@Wilstang, Thank you! I’m loving the way she grows so far.
I was concerned initially with how bushy she was, but the thin sativa leaves really let a lot of light in, thus far. But there are still 4.5 weeks left, give or take, and you make a good point. 😄
@gennaro_fs, Thank you! I love the way she is smelling. I’m getting so excited for harvest. I got an 1/8th at a local shop last summer, but haven’t had any since. It was such a versatile strain. Good for whatever I might wish to do, whether it be working in my vegetable garden, spending quality time with the wife, reading, fishing, or playing video games. I’m going to get a friend to grow a big one outdoors this season.
I really want to do this strain heard so many good things about it so may have to do this strain on a future run I’ll follow your diary to see how she turns out
@MISS_TRYHARD, I tried some last summer. I liked it so much that I had to order some seeds. So far she has been a breeze. I’ll endeavor not to disappoint. I’m about to defoliate, as soon as I get up off the couch. Though the structure is pretty open so far. The leaves are very sativa.
@Oyziphar, Me too! It smells great! I broke a small branch, so I flash dried a gram or so. Wasn’t even harsh, and had a sweet aftertaste. I can’t wait to properly dry and cure the lot.
@biggreens420, Thank you! I love how much bud she’s putting out. If the smoke is anything like the stuff I’ve tried in the past, this will be a strain I keep in the rotation.
