Calling this week 2. She broke ground on Christmas Day 🎄 Growing strong so far, nice strong stem. I’ve been reading other diaries and getting excited to try this one out. Grow baby grow!

Coming along nicely. Grew a couple of inches this week and put out a few more nodes. Not feeding any additional nutrients yet, she's only getting what is in the soil and water. I'll probably start bending this week and may even top her. On a side note... My perpetual harvest concept does seem to be working, I have plants in various stages all going strong. But I feel like I'm running into some over crowding with 5-6 plants. I'm going to try staggering new plants on a 3 week interval and see if that helps me get to 3-4 plants at a time.

Alien Vs Triangle is taking off. I topped, bent and defoliated this week and she loved it, she doubled in size this week! At this pace she might turn out to be my biggest plant. Looking forward to the next few weeks.

Bent her a little too hard (or too late) and snapped the main stalk, but taped it up and she seems fine now. Also gave her some defoliation. Fed Recharge for the first time too, seemed to like that, I think it helped with the fast healing of the snapped stalk. Bud sites starting to develop. AVT is front-right in the group shots.

Alien vs Triangle seems to have recovered from the extreme bending incident last week. Bud sites are developing nicely. I fed this week with Fox Farm Organic Big Bloom and Recharge. Looking forward to the results.👍

AVT is coming along nicely. Especially considering the abuse I put her through a few weeks ago. Buds are developing nicely and starting to get frosty 😃. I kind of dig the bonsai'ish shape she has near the top due to my over HST'ing. There will be no more abuse to this girl, only some defoliation as needed. AVT is front-left in the group pics.

Alien vs Triangle is looking great, I think she's fully recovered from all of the HST abuse I put her through. She has some interesting Bonsai-esque bends. Bud sites are getting frosty too!👍 She's back-left in the group pics.

This Alien is really looking good! Nice bud sites developing and tons of frost! 😃 Gave her Recharge only this week, felt like giving a break between Big Bloom feedings this time.

AVT still flowering, still going strong. Definitely has more of a Bonsai shape, which is unique and obviously due to the excessive HST I did early on. Very curious how she finishes up, but I'm guessing still about a month to go til she's ready.

She hermed out and started showing a couple of bananas on the buds. Tons of frost and a beautiful smell but the buds are not done. I chopped her and have her isolated in a paper bag drying out. I'm gonna add her to the hash pile once dried.

I totally blame myself on this one... Waaaayyy too much HST early on. I'm sure that's what ultimately caused her to herm out. Too bad because she was smelling so beautiful. But a welcome addition to the hash pile. I'll definitely try growing AVT again, but I'll go a lot easier with training the next time.

@DudeGrowsWeed, I'd have to agree. She looks like she's ready to stack it up and put on some weight!

Recharge works!! Noticing nice results after 24 hours. Looking forward to seeing what happens after 48 hours! 👍 And she seems to be pretty much fully recovered from the bending incident, I removed the painters tape today. She has healed herself and stands fine on her own. Started showing white hairs too! Will post pics with the next weeks update.

Recharge just arrived. All plants watered with Recharge today (except the Blue Mammoth, she’s in flush). 0.5tsp/gal Also bent the stem over the weekend and bent a little harder (or later) than I should have. Heard a ‘snap’ 😯. But painters tape to the rescue and she’s looking fine. Just a little bit of a bonsai effect. Phew 😅
the end.
