Germinated in jiffy pellet then directly into final pot. This will be a test of the best techniques learned... looking to maximize yield, potentcy/terpenes and cycle time, while keeping required maintenance to minimum. TOPPING - All will be topped on Day 21 BLUMATS - Using Blumat watering tech SCROG - Using screens to spread branches MICROBES - Mykos, Recharge, Mammoth P DAY 1 Humidity dome on. DAY 7 All doing well. Have been feeding the microbes and Mykos and wetting the medium. Mykos will accelerate growth below the surface. 7.0

BEGIN WEEK 6 DAY 36 She's healthy and growing a bit out of control. What a beautiful healthy bush. Her cola arms are filled with flower sites. She's going to be impressive. (DAY 42) END OF WEEK 6 Changed the resevoir on Saturday or Sunday and did not open valve. Plants dried out and are wilted with dead leaves all over. Gave all a 30oz feed of microbes (recharge + mammoth p) and another 30oz from the resevoir.

BEGIN WEEK 7 DAY 43 Just when things were going too f*ing well, I cleaned the resevoir and left the main valve off for 2+days. After discovering the entire tent severely wilted and attempting 24 hrs of re-hydration, trimmed all dead/damaged material...which was a substantial amount. Re-filled and reset Blumats. The timing of the issue couldnt have been worse...being when they were raging so hard. Slammed the grow into reverse for the time being. Hand watered 30oz Recharge/Mammoth P feed. Re started Blumats. Hoping good care until the end helps the recovery. FUCK!

Begin week 9 She is a beast! She's large with many side branches that are filling in. This could be a really big one. She's healthy and growing into the lights. May have to supercrop if there are signs of stress.

Begin week 10 Beast mode continues. Her general health has improved since the debacle and she has colas growing up into the lights. No damage, so letting it go. The branches are lined with colas. Most are slender and pointed as compared to short and chonky. She smells fruity.

She was a beast the entire grow. Even though I neglected the grow at the end, she was doing well enough to come out the best of all in the tent.

In spite of the poor care she received, she pulled through with 152g of sticky, dense, sweet-smelling buds. I can only imagine what could have been if I hadn't dropped the ball this grow.

@MrProspector, i have pictures. From sprout until today, 3 weeks mark. Ill start it tonight. Thank you

@RonnieB,They actually force you to add pictures as you add weeks. Sometimes its a pain, but thats also why i like GD. Dive in. I'm starting my next diary now. I top and dont train. Its unnecessary and adds time to my grow. I'm at or above stated yields and using my space efficiently with minimal effort. Top and go.

@MrProspector, I have 2 fast buds gorilla glue, 1 purple roc and 1 mephisto northern cheese haze x sour bubbly going. They just put on the 8th set of leaves and were seeds on the 18th. I want to start a grow diary here. Do you add all pictures at once? or as you go along? I am recording each week with photos. Did you train the purple roc? I have it with the Mephisto under one light thats 3x3 min. 4x4 max...I am thinking about topping it and LST..I hope I can get away with Just tying it down. I guess Im a little unnecessarily anxious about these 2 strains because I've never grown such aggressive plants indoors. They're in 5 gallon smart pots..

Ah man... this is a disappointing version of purple scoops. I thought mine would look like this But mine has some amazing purple and pinks. Still some amazing yield man! Hope I can get close to that ! 👊🏼👊🏼 IG @authenticgrow

@AuthenticGrow, yeah, my entire tent this cycle was disappointing. I neglected things terribly and allowedy resevoir to go empty TWICE, and in spite of that...this gal yielded great. I plan to grow all 4 strains that were in my tent again and will give a better representation of the genetics.
