Growing fast and happy. She’s loving the fish mix and I’ve now added some bio grow to the mix. She responded well and is starting to grow quickly now.

Had great sunny weather all week, so lots of growth And some new branches starting to grow. Started her on some more nutrients, just small amounts to begin with this week, to see how it goes but she’s loving them so far!

The weathers not been so great this week and we’ve had lots of rain, so I’ve moved her into a mini green house so she doesn’t get over watered. She still had lots of growth this week, lots of new leaves, she’s still not very tall, but bushy instead which I think is normal for this strain.

Had some good growth this week despite the weather being a bit hit and miss. She starting to grow taller (although this strain doesn’t get very tall) and is filling out all round.

Really great weather this week, lots of sunshine and she’s grown a lot and is starting to flower now too! She’s really started to fill out all over and looks pretty healthy to me. Although I’m a newbie, so that doesn’t mean much! Looking forward to seeing those buds develop.

It’s been really hot and sunny all week and she’s shot up and filled out all over. She’s really starting to bud up all over now and has a lovely sweet smell to her. Looking forward to seeing how big those buds get!

The weather has been rubbish all week, really rainy and cloudy, with hardly any sun. Despite this, she seems to have filled out quite a bit and grown fractionally taller. Unfortunately she’s had an attack from a caterpillar or two and they’ve had a bit of a munch on a couple of leaves. I’ve not been well these last few days and have not been as vigilant on hunting out pests, as I normally am.

The weather hasn’t been so great this week, but she’s continuing to fill out, despite that. She been a bit squished up in a greenhouse most of the time because of all the rain, but the weather has turned and the sun is shining so hopefully a good dose of sunshine will do her good. I’m so happy with my first grow, I look at her and I just can’t believe I’ve managed to grown her in my garden in the UK!

A week of good weather with lots of sun has done her well. The buds are really starting to fatten up now and I can’t wait to try some, she smells delicious, so fruity and quite different to any weed I’ve smelt before. Ive decided to continue to feed her and then hopefully flush next week, depending how she looks. I’ve unfortunately been suffering from a lots pests in the garden, thankfully my other veg plants have taken the brunt of the damage and only a couple of outer leaves got a little nibble! Shes starting to grow little purple parts within her buds, she looks so pretty!

It’s been really sunny all week, so had another really good week of growth. I’ve had to trim off the top of the main bud, I’m not sure what happened but it’s been really really hot and humid and the very top part of the bud just started turning brown and crisping up. I wasn’t sure if she got a bit sun scorched or if it was bud rot from the humidity. So I’ve chopped it out to be on the safe side and will keep a close eye on her. She’s a lovely purpley pink on the inside. And smells lovely!

So another really hot, humid week and its cost me. More bud rot to the main bud, so I cut it out and she seems fine now. Such is life! Thankfully all her other buds are fine! I’ve been checking her trics and I think she’s nearly ready, so I’m starting to flush her. I really looking forward to harvest now! Update All her other buds are not fine! I found more bud rot to her main bud and on further inspection, the start of bud rot on some of her side colas. I’m starting to think the mini green house I had her in wasn’t tall or wide enough for proper air flo. So I’ve cut it all out and if any more starts to develop, she’ll be for the chop! Update After deliberating about it all day, I chopped her down at sunrise today. Her trichs are showing she is ready anyway and she’d been flushed a few times earlier in the week. I just didn’t want to loose anymore to rot so I cut her down a few days earlier than planned. Even tho I’ve lost pretty much all the main colas and a bit from her 2 largest side colas (always the way, hey?), I’m still over the moon for my first grow. The buds I’m left with are really big and fat and dense as hell! I seriously can not wait to try some. I’ve left her to dry in my airing cupboard and and put in a small dehumidifier, to hopefully aid in the drying process.

nice plant, i also had problems in the past few years with grey mold due to rain and wet weather. Using anti-botritis product helped me a lot and i had not lose a single bud, try it next time. Also, this is the only one i see here to have purple phenotipe, i have it too and it's magic 😁
