Monster Mazar

Freebie from Seedsman. Only took a day in a wet paper towel, then a day in the dirt for it to pop out and get moving.

Day 12: Transplanted to final 3 gallon, no issues, roots looked great. Going to let it grow to 6 nodes, then I'll top it. I'm undecided if I'll let lower nodes grow or if I'll manifold this one.

Day 18: I decided to try quad-lining this one, it's like manifolding but starting with 4 growth tips (in this case, from nodes 2 & 3), so I topped at 3rd node. I also started feeding nutes. Still has the weird patterning on all of the leaves, but growing fast and strong.

Leaves still have the strange patterning. This one's growing well, but the 2 main nodes just stayed really tight so it doesn't have much height. The side nodes are growing out well and are a little more spaced out so far. Day 26: Gonna give it a few more days, but preflowers look like this one's a boy.

Upped the nutes this week and gave it a couple rounds of heavy LST. About a week ago I thought this was going to be a male, but thankfully I was wrong! Definitely female, it just took several days for the pistils to pop out of the preflowers. It's probably a week to 10 days from true flowering stretch and I'm a little concerned about having enough space once it starts to go. I'm loving the vigor and structure on this in veg.

I've just been letting it grow since training the 4 main branches flat and it's really becoming a beast. I used to strip all the bottom leaves, but my humidity is fine and my plants seem to grow better leaving them on; it's saved me a few times when I've had deficiencies and they can just pull what they need from the bottom foliage. It's as big before stretching as anything I've grown after they've finished stretching. I'm a little concerned about how much more space it's going to take up since my tent is only 32"x32", but these are good problems to have, so I ain't complaining! It also has a fantastic smell, like spicy incense.

Ok, this one's finally hitting flower. It's stretching like mad, basically overtaking my tent, branching all over the place. SO MANY BRANCHES. It was so bushy I had to pull some growth tips and a bunch of leaves to make sure enough air could circulate and get light to all the bud sites. I'm excited about this one, should be a big yielder!

Switched to full flowering nutes. This thing is drinking a LOT, the pot is bone dry every 36 hours. Lots of good stretch happened, I think it's about stopped now. Had to do a bunch of defoliation, it was just too dense of a canopy and I needed to air it out a bit. Now we just wait and watch it fatten up!

This thing is crazy, more colas than I can count, it's drinking a gallon every other day, and it's leaving very little room in the tent for my other plants. I was having problems with it being droopy and I noticed some burning around the edges of leaf tips, so I flushed it with 2 gallons of plain water, and that very same day it perked back up. Next feeding was half strength nutes, and I'll probably do feed/feed/flush from here until harvest. It was just too much salt buildup in the soil and it caused nute burn then lockout. I KNOW I should flush every once in a while, I just... didn't. Lesson learned! The pics are from the morning I flushed so it still looks a bit droopy there, but it's much perkier now.

Growing fast and strong again. I did 2 flushes at 2 gallons per flush with a half strength feed in between and all of the vigor has come back! Gotta remember not to let those salts build up on the roots. Buds are starting to fill in and it's STILL throwing out new growth tips underneath. I'm really enjoying watching this one grow.
